Ive seen a general description of how much webpage views, song downloads ect that 1gb of Data covers I dont recall the exact numbers but it does cover quite a bit of use if you are not downloading large files directly from the internet. Web page views in the 10s of thousands if not hundreds of thousands.

The real catch is how to keep track, how many people actually pay that close attention and is there an easy way to monitor your own usage other then seeing a phone bill rack up for going over or being warned by the phone company that your exceeding use.

Data use has been a real grey area for many people, especially those not really tech savy or to busy to care types. Fact of the matter is that these networks to handle data use are in place already in most populated areas and really seem to be quite the cash cow once the intial investment in towers, equipment ect. is in place.
