Comment on T-Mobile caps smartphone users' data at 500 MB/month

This is UK-only at present it seems, but I have to think it's coming to the USA soon enough.

Yet another reason to switch to Verizon next month. Yeah, not a lot better, but they'll have the iPhone at least, with personal hotspot (just like my Nexus One).

But, unlike with your Nexus One, it will cost you $20+ per month to use your personal hotspot.

I doubt it'll head to the US. You have to understand the difference between the UK and US markets. T-Mobile is a dominant player in the UK market, while they've only managed to grab roughly 10% of the US mobile market. T-Mobile's HSPA network is underutilized here and the last thing they need is a PR mess like this.
