T-Mobile Beats Hasty Retreat on Data Usage Cap for G1

By Gary Kim


Within 24 hours of igniting a consumer firestorm about monthly caps on G1 Android device data usage, T-Mobile (News - Alert) USA backtracked and said it was abandoning the 1GB monthly usage cap it originally had set. Under the original plan, use of the 3G network would have been limited to 1GB a month, after which access would slow to EDGE network speeds of 50 kbps or less.
 
T-Mobile says it now is reviewing new permanent policies governing usage.
