How much data most people use before the iPhone? Zero? Using AT&T's logic, since most people were using zero data, then there shouldn't be internet on phones period.
What's next? Obviously with this new plan, people would be even more conservative, so next year AT&T would say 65% use less than 150MB, and 98% use less than 1.5GB, and those will be the new caps. See how this logic goes?
It makes zero sense, and only discourage innovation. Next thing we know, people would go back of simply using their smartphones for text emails. What would AT&T say then? Oh, 1MB should be plenty for text emails.

My usage has nothing to do with anything, as my usage is not equal your usage and not equal to person C usage. We can argue all day long about our own personal usage, but my point remains the same.
Based on this new caps, expect those activities to die down as people will not want to pay for overages. Plus, people here apparently wants things to go backward, where people will only use smartphones for text emails.
Errr, we're going from unlimited to 5GB to 2GB/200MB. Do you really think AT&T will increase the cap? The fact that there are caps now mean people would be more conservative and use less data-intensive activities, and I can see AT&T statistics will show people use even less data, and they would lower the cap further. I mean think about it, how long have we had these 5GB cap everywhere? Anybody increasing their cap after that? Nope.
