I wonder if anyone would like clearly-advertised "unlimited data, harmonic throttling":
First X amount of data at full speed
Second X amount of data at 1/2 of full speed
Third X amount of data at 1/3 of full speed
Fourth X amount of data at 1/4 of full speed
etc...
(With perhaps prices based on what that X is, or the decrease in speed could be more gradual.)
This is clearly "unlimited" since you can transfer as much data as you want, it just takes a little longer for each additional amount (until the next billing period). :-)
Let's say you get your nth X GB at XGB/(1000n)s. Then in a month=2628000seconds, you'd get at most about (70X)-ish GB per month. Meanwhile, if you get a flat X GB at XGB/(1000)s, then you get up to (2628X) GB per month. That sure doesn't feel unlimited in comparison.... but I suppose when I put it that way, all data plans are limited by finite time. :-)
