[QUOTE="indychris, post: 1257323, member: 83973"] Just checking out some of the RSS feeds from CNET this morning and came across this article from 'Dear Maggie'. [url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20073837-266/ask-maggie-wait-for-iphone-5-or-take-verizons-unlimited-data/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20]Ask Maggie: Wait for iPhone 5 or take Verizon's unlimited data? | Signal Strength - CNET News[/url] In the write-up, the questioner ponders if he should go ahead and get Verizon's unlimited plan b4 it goes away, or wait for the reputed iPhone 5 to arrive on the scene. In the course of her response, Maggie says this: That got me thinking about data usage. First of all, I think she is absolutely correct in that the vast majority of people don't approach 2GB worth of data transfer/month. BUT... Once iCloud is up and running and updates and syncing are primarily taking place via the cloud rather than through a physical computer, will that change? Will people be using drastically more cell bandwidth, or will most of those transfers happen via WiFi? I've been on AT&T's unlimited plan since day 1, so I'm not worried, but I am curious to see what others think the impact--if any--will be.
