Comment on O2 (UK's original iPhone carrier) drops unlimited data with iPhone4parent

Sorry, I was eating an apple (oh the hilarity) while I wrote that with a spare finger...

I want unlimited data, but not because I want to make use of an absurd quantity of data every month - I want it to be unlimited because I don't want to have to think about it.

I realise that I'm ahead of the curve compared to a typical consumer, but I don't care - to me the Internet is a constant. It's just always there and I don't have to think about how much I'm using. It's like the air I breathe.

O2 have said that 97% of their customers will fit into the basic 500MB/month plan, so only 3% of people will really be inconvenienced by this. My response to that is - in that case why not simply invoke the "fair use" policies of your unlimited data plan to move those 3% of people onto a more appropriately priced plan and leave everyone else as "unlimited"?
