Is the big new (or not so new if you’ve been following this stuff) push to charge consumers for data usage coupled with the elimination of “unlimited” plans going to cripple mobile and soon enough, console gaming in the future? I think so, specially for any users on a budget. Imagine your ISP capping the amount of data you can receive just because they can introduce these plans based on what amounts to a guessing game that traps some into paying more simply because they enjoy their hobby. Granted, I’m betting most users will pay through the nose (when you’re hooked, you’re hooked)… up until their service providers start charging them for storing and streaming data over their usage limits. Well, I’ll just sit back and wait to see what happens, but I expect a lot of virtual protesting to start popping up in a few ways at time marches onward… Of course, I probably don’t know what I’m talking about, but I also don’t see these bills going DOWN any time soon…
