I agree with you but Chris has some good points too with the whole buffet line example. Promotions and plans are always subject to change. As of right now sprint advertises unlimited and thats what we are getting but if the average data usage triples or quadriples then that will force any business to rethink their strategy. Like the buffet line example, lets say customers been averaging 3 plates per visit and now they are averaging 6 plates per visit, the costs have now doubled but I am still charging the same price. Any business will change rethink their strategy after that. Its like the autobahn in germany, even though there isn't a speed limit that doesn't mean you can drive with reckless abandon which could affect other people around you just trying to make it home.
Excellent post, I don't think I could have said any better myself.

I don't sign a 2 year contract to eat at a unlimited buffet that says I get unlimited plates of food though.
The Germany analogy is flawed. You can drive whatever speed limit be it 180 or 100 they don't pull you over saying you're going to fast and someone driving crazy endangering other peoples lives isn't even in the same ballpark as using a crap load of data unless using too much data could kill someone.
Sprint should have thought about that before they advertised the phone sharing up to 8 devices at a airport to random people.
I dunno I mean I don't use much data so ill be fine either way as long as I can leave if they change it since that's not what I signed up for.
