I was reading something the other day that said Verizon is keeping unlimited data for the Droid X. Good job Verizon keeping customers from At&t. I keep hearing that they are going to eventually have their own data cap. I know this is a Droid X forum. I have had my Droid X for four days now and love it. I need the X for school purposes and I believe that if Verizon adds a data cap it will knock the value of owning a smartphone out for me I am simply suggesting that you do not do this. It will hurt Verizon business, as well as kill an industry that is flourishing right now.

I don't think there is currently any truth to this.
Explanation:
At&t runs on a GSM signal, VZW runs on a CDMA signal. The largest difference between the two technologies is that the CDMA has more room to grow as well from what I have read, it can support more data users.
At&t recently ended their "Unlimited Internet" because it was unable to provide this service, in large cities a small percentage of the users were eating a large chunk of the available data network.
Another little tid-bit people may be unaware of, when a company makes a change like this and requires existing users to modify their current contracts, the user can opt-out of the contract at no expense.

Data Cap is more than likely not that far away... When? I don't know but I'm sure if we ask we'll get the best answer given now days.. That answer is, "possibly soon".

In my opinion the Mobile Hotspot feature is probally one of the reasons for the larger amount of data basically but the thing that I dont get how can the data usuage be a issue when they alread included a fee for use of this feature... Sounds like the usual situation all over again, a company make a change to their plan and no major outcome comes from them doing it another company always follows.
Makes no since to add a feature for the customers and then try to burn them for using what they pay for... Its always something isnt it.
