I do not buy the whole 'unlimited will not last forever' because all the big companies have tiered plans. This is kind of like them saying, 'okay no more future technology growth'. If you think 2GB is going to tide over the 'average' user in a few more years, then you have another thing coming. I believe that if Sprint can pull this off then they can show that unlimited can work. I FULLY support throttling once you reach a reasonable threshold. I have never used more than 5GB. Hotspots should NEVER be unlimited as this encourages power users from using as much as possible. I don't know if anyone remembers, but Comcast tried to get the broadband industry to move towards tiered internet plans. This fell through before it even got off the floor because of customer complaints. Comcast still does throttle power users who try to download everything they can, because no one needs to be a bandwidth hog (seriously can someone truly watch every TV show out there?). Needless to say, even Congress said this would move our technology backwards. I think that the tiered system may not be here to stay if Sprint can provide reliable service at reasonable prices after NV, as it may be possible to get the Big Three to jump back.
