Sure - but how competitive are these "all you can eat" subscriptions?
How long (real world, on an averagely busy cell) it take to download an
(average 5meg) MP3?
Is there REALLY the capacity there for many people in a cell to be
doing it simultaneously? (This last is quite important, obviously.)
No-one is suggesting 3g is going to go away. Just that lots of users
won't use the extra G - they will use it just like they use 2g and use
a variety of other methods to get data into their phone.
