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.

Rogers now has an online data and minute tracker. In fact there is even a free iPhone app that connects to that tracker and tells you all of your usage stats right up to the minute.
