after january 31, 2013, download cap at ~12-15gb for the budget 4g LTE.

currently, "wimax" speeds ~1mbps
download cap ~15gb

Looks like a ***** to splice them...

Quick sell it to a foreign company, so that they can charge us extortionate ammounts of money to use it.

I feel the need for speed... then comes the data caps
