Then what would you call a business user/mobile user?
How many desktops are being sold vs laptops?
Why is 3G so popular?
Why pay 2 or 3 bills to get to the same Internet?

You can easily pass 5GB and not download large files, within a 30 day period.
And unless you live under the cell tower, you're not going to torrent files
over a 3G connection at 1.3MB and keep your sanity, this is what Wifi is for...

No, it was because the competition no longer offered it either.
Its also a reduction in service that does not reflect in price (They didn't make it any cheaper.)
You also have to realize Sprint has nothing to lose competitively here by doing this.

Sprint wins, current users win, new customers lose.

Let these Q's marinate:

Ask why your carrier charges $5.00 for a set # of text messages & why they bill you with overages when you go over them?
Ask why unlimited is not unlimited?
If you're going to impose a data cap, why not reduce the cost of service for the imposed limit in service?
Sprint Rep: "So we capped your data? Don't like it? Who are you going to run to who doesn't have one?"


Its about MORE about money milking opportunities, than usage.
