To be fair, there's no evidence that the cap is permanent. I wouldn't be surprised to see adjustments as the network becomes able to handle more data.
Also,
this post (linked from the boygenius post linked above) indicates that the cap only affects PC cards and PAM, so if it's really a burden people could always use one of the covert tethering tricks. I wouldn't feel right doing so, but it's nice that it's technically feasible.
Are people really using their phones as primary access devices? While RevA speeds are very nice for a portable device, they don't compare to what I get over basic home broadband.
