I've been waiting for this to happen. I'm just surprised that the limit isn't 5GB/month on the "Pro" plan. At 2GB I suspect iPad sales to be negatively impacted. If they were at 5GB, I don't think they would be. Moreover, the savings of $4.99 ($59.88 annually) is a drop in the bucket for most and won't be enticing any current user to drop their unlimited.
I wonder how many will go for tethering, when their total usage is capped at 2GB (according to how I read the ATT press release) including the tethering. For me it's a no brainer. As much as I'd like tethering, the cap makes it useless.
The one thing I really was pleased at in the ATT press release was that AT&T smartphone customers have access at no additional charge to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in the U.S. Now that's helpful for those in major metropolitan areas, but the number isn't as large as it sounds. It needs to grow.
