Facing huge criticism about its 1 Gbyte monthly cap on 3G access for the G1 Android phone, T-Mobile has decided to lift the cap immediately and is reviewing its options for a permanent plan. But T-Mobile now is saying it has removed that limit while it reviews its plans and decides on new ones.
T-Mobile is likely to come up with a plan that still accomplishes the goal of shaping traffic, when necessary, to maintain reasonable end user experience at times of peak load, especially when some very-heavy users are placing unusual stress on the radio network.
Consumer pressure does work. T-Mobile knew it had a problem and is taking steps to ameliorate it.
