Now we are talking about 4G without capacity for data. Interesting to ponder. The Internet proved that once you go free, you can't go back and start charging...especially in the States. Offering unlimited, and then starting to limit? That won't go over too well. There was just an interesting report put out by Morgan Stanley on "How Teenagers Consume Data." In this we read: "Teenagers do not use the Internet features on their mobiles as it costs too much, and generally, if they waited an hour they could use their home Internet and they are willing to wait as they don't usually have anything urgent to do." These are the adults of the future. If you start to limit data, then the use of mobile Internet will be for urgent causes only and not everyday fun life surfing and all those fun time wasting applications...
