read the fine print of current carriers offering "unlimited" data plans. You'll find that in practice, there are soft caps on all of them.
This is actually not true. Its more productive for a company to have unlimited data plans, or massive data plans. Think of the Google investment principle. Google not only makes its money by ads, but most of its income comes from how much there system is used. The more that users use google applications the more that there is a need for investment. Their network becomes more important and more wroth. AT&T is not going to give you unlimited data without charging you more. As there network grows the more expensive it is to maintain all the cell towers and not to mention how expensive it is to send zeros and ones through the wireless technology.
Know what I would propose is to have unlimited 3g or 2g instead of unlimited everything. This would cap you down to the current 3g technology or slower 2g (Edge). Even though they are slower, it less expensive to maintain a unlimited data network on those type of technology. And everything above 3g would cost you.
