One of the big problems with the metered service thing in practice for us iPhone users is that if you EVER decide to try one of the metered plans, you can never go back to an unlimited plan.

Just so I can see how much bandwidth I really consume on it. Unfortunately, I use it a lot at home via WiFi and that's much faster than using 3G. Still I retained an unlimited plan on all my phones for even though we aren't close to the limits I think some things could quickly take us there. The iPad again used a lot at home and about has also changed the data usage on my iPhone. I remain incensed that I can't share my data plan on my iPhone with my iPad and if I do now with my iPhone4 I have to go to a limited data plan and pay an extra 20 dollars per month. That's robbery. Now I have the new micro sim I've not tried to create a mini sim from it to put back in my Nokia so I can use my hotspot program there. But before long I will... for when I next need it. AT&T needs a complete revamp in terms of how they communicate and do business. That goes right down to the plans. I'm certain that they could accelerate the future if they put their mind to it. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen any time soon. I'm already regretting buying in for another two years. The other options in the US are just as bad.
