Awesome!
The carriers are not going to like this, so I doubt that we ever see this on the market.

actually, if they move away from "unlimited packadges" to usage based pricing like they are planning for LTE, I really don't see why carriers wouldn't adopt this technology. Data is data

Recent surveys done in the broadband sector have found that a huge majority of users (i dont remember the exact percent) will not pay for wifi access. Even more of them are opposed to usage based subscription models. I think carriers are going to need to rethink moving to a usage based subscription. While not wifi, I can't imagine the everyday user finds much difference between the two of them. IF they want mobile data usage to increase they are going to have to embrace unlimited eventually.

Consumers hate the idea of per usage charging because they are sold on the ideal of unlimited even if MOST customers don't need anything more than what the cap is
