I can't imagine it would be any *more* time for sprint TV.
So they're giving you a half-hour/day use for sprint tv, give or take. Interesting.
Now, looking at my usage, I'm at 72,000 or so of whatever units it reports (probably KB) after 2 days in the current billing cycle. So for my typical email and light browsing use I would use just a couple meg a month. That leaves quite a bit...
I could see maybe busting that cap every now and then, but it would be a somewhat atypical month for me.

not to keep a *dead* thread going, but want to clear up the math.... (not to pick on schettj (went farther than the rest of us...))
Yes, the "units" are in KB's, since that's how they bill ($0.03/KB) (have verified with some previous bills where my vision disapeared)
72,000KB is ~70mb
5gb/30days= ~170mb/day
but like I've been saying, this is just a nasty rumor to get more ppl to drop sprint before they release 4G.
Edit* also if they were that concerned about it, why don't they let you see your data history (graph), the way they do for anytime minutes and bill totals (billing trends).
