Perhaps the most important stat from Validas's wireless smartphone bill analysis
But, more than 4 percent of VZW Smartphones consume more than 2 gigabytes per month, as opposed to just 1.6 percent of iPhones.

That's it right there.
Remember when AT&T introduced their data caps? The highest cap was set at 2GB, and there was outrage. AT&T said only 2% of their customers use more than that each month, but few believed them. Well, it's just 1.6%.
I dropped two iPhones on our family plan to the $15 200MB cap, and mine to the $25 2GB cap. That's $35 a month saved with no decrease in activity on our part.
The caps work, and they save you money. Lots to complain about AT&T for, but not everything they do is evil. This one's putting money in my pocket, and would do the same for 98.4% of you.
