I think that can be fair. I have used and used and used my iPad mostly over
3G and barely hit 1.5 gigs overall the first month. I use it every morning and
evening seven days a week and all day off and on for the weekend.

The caps usually only effect a very very small percentage.

AT&T announced two new data plans -- priced at $15 and $25 each -- with the cap on the higher-end plan set at 2GB per month. If you want tethering on top of this, you have to fork over an additional $20 when iPhone 4.0 arrives, most likely at WWDC.

It probably has something to do with the more than 2 million iPads sold to date, and the iPhone's increasing global share. This is most likely overwhelming an already-stressed data network, even though AT&T insisted that they could handle it.

The press release did not say if the $20 tethering option would be available to those who decide to keep their unlimited data for now, but MacRumors believes tethering won't be availableunless you're on the 2 GB "DataPro" plan. Unfortunately, they're probably right.
