Pretty much when they let the dog loose and everyone in the Country could join this plan by paying FMCA $50/month ...

Not quite... The AT&T Mobley plan doesn't supply the device free unless you sign on for a 2-year contract. And that entails a $45 activation fee that's waived if you buy the Mobley outright at retail with no contract. The Mobley plan is also directly with AT&T, not through a sub-group such as a membership group, school, or corporation. AT&T also put the $20 Mobley plan out there with a stated sign-up expiration date, July 17th as I recall. I suspect the FMCA deal was similar to the Omnilynx school deal with Verizon, which was basically a corporate multi-user contract that allows adding new employees (or members) as needed. The contract wording does place certain limits on adding new subscribers, and it was probably evident pretty quickly that FMCA had no means of controlling or validating the influx of new members that were joining simply to get the plan. That's essentially the same thing that happened to Omnilynx, but in that case they were attempting to use the plan to help offset the costs to the school district, but also couldn't manage the influx of outsiders to Verizon's satisfaction.
