AT&T caps phone data usage with new wireless plans

In time for the widely expected launch of a new iPhone model, carrier AT&T Inc. is pulling in the reins on data usage by its customers with smart phones and iPads....

Senh: I'm glad I'm not on AT&T. Although I think it's correct in assuming that 98% of the people will be able to get by with just a 2BG plan. I use my phone to update Wopular throughout the day - mostly mornings and nights. Under the $25, 2GB plan, I can view anywhere from 100-500 pages per day if each webpage averages about 100-500K. I'm using round numbers. That's plenty. Even a power user like me doesn't view that many pages per day. If you watch a lot of streaming video on YouTube, then you're screwed. 2GB would give you a max of about 2 movies, assuming each movie is about 1 hr. 30 min. I guess now you can't just hand over your phone to your kids and let them watch video. With the iPad and HD2 or Evo being advertised as multimedia devices, I don't think users would be happy with a limited data plan.
