Same here. They're basing their decision on old data for starters, with the multitasking option in iOS4 it's more likely that the average user will use more data - I'm thinking specifically of streaming radio - but am sure there will be other examples.
And if it's such a small portion of users using so much data, how can that be causing such a problem unless their network is woefully inadequate anyway. They're - rightly - worried that the strain on their network is going to go up, but instead of fixing the problem they're trying to "scare" people into using less data
Where by "scare" I mean that people will be more conscious about hitting their limit, and thus avoid high-bandwidth apps. For the less savvy user, who doesn't realise how much data is used up, they may even find themselves actively trying to avoid using their internet.
Obviously we don't know this for sure, it's just my opinion... and I'm not happy.
