Unlimited data is going to be a great thing when pared with that new Netflix app. As you may know, it now has video streaming support for iPhone (& iPod Touch) and I'm really looking forward to racking up some unlimited data usage. It couldn't have come at a better time for me either. Looks like my wife and I are going to be at the hospital in a couple of weeks with the birth of our first child and I can think of nothing better to pass the time than to watch a few instant streaming movies.
But I can't help but wonder, how long is my grandfathered in--unlimited data--status going to last before they decide to do away with it in lieu of one of their tiered options. Let's face it, AT&T's network (not to mention their pockets) can't, and aren't going to foot that big of a data drain for too long. Streaming only 30 minutes of video, according to AT&T's data usage calculator, puts you at that 2 gigabyte data cap. That's not even a feature length movie, and you're done for the month! Oh well, I'm going to enjoy it for as long as I can and fight to get it back when they take it away.
