T-Mobile soft capping 3G data at 1GB per month09-23-2008

Caps are nothing new to the world's 3G networks, but T-Mobile's being  
particularly stingy with the bytes -- 1GB is all you get. Well,  
technically you can get more than that, but our friends in magenta are  
reserving the right to throttle you back to a stifling 50Kbps --  
virtually useless by smartphone standards, and less than what even a  
good EDGE network is capable of providing. That's going to be sour  
news to heavy G1 users, especially as Android touts its stellar  
connectivity, world-class browser, and a full suite of data-gorging  
apps. For now, we're going to cut T-Mob some slack on this since the  
threat is purely theoretical, but if they start enforcing this little  
stipulation with a heavy hand, the G! 1 is going to have to stay in  
the pocket a little more than we'd like.
