sprintlogo Sprint CEO: Unlimited Data May End If Usage Gets Unreasonable

When cell phones were first introduced they were pretty much nothing more than devices to make phone calls with. However, as time progressed, inevitably, so did handset technology. Now a days, cell phones have evolved into smart phones capable of sending text messages, playing graphically enhanced games and browsing the web. However, in order to access many of a smart phone’s greatest features, you need a wireless data plan.

Most of these data plans started as unlimited but as more users flocked to the various carriers they were forced to impose a bandwidth cap. If you think about it, unlimited data isn’t physically possible, it’s more of a marketing term that companies put forth in anticipation that supply will far outpace demand.

AT&T, for instance, had unlimited data but with the massive influx of new iPhone users the carrier axed the unlimited plan and moved towards caps.

Sprint, on the other hand has continued to offer unlimited bandwidth even while competing carriers have not. However, with hard hitting devices like the Samsung Epic 4G and HTC EVO 4G Sprint’s network have got to be feeling some strain. In fact, according to Sprint CEO, unlimited data may end if usage gets unreasonable.

As more consumers make the switch it seems inevitable that usage will get “unreasonable”. In the mean time, enjoy your unlimited data while it lasts.
