I suspect downloading habits would change if people were charged by the gb.
I think it's a sad indictment of society when people get lambasted for pointing out that downloading movies by torrents etc etc is illegal.

of course they would change but that would be a huge backwards step.
It seems people can only think extremes either unlimited or charge per gig.
What about a viable solution such as a monthly usage cap eg. 250 gig month.
When I use 3G the experience is I have to think twice about doing things like watching youtube videos because on the daily gig allowance one video will typically chew a 3rd of that up easy. Quite often I havent restrained myself and paid silly money, but luckily I am not on 3G often its just when I am not at home.
