I don't argue that AT&T's more recent decisions to stop offering unlimited plans were not both reasonable and rational. I'm just saying that, in light of Stephenson's comment that AT&T is happy with the iPhone deal for turning its business into a data-driven one, the unlimited plans may have accelerated that change. So if that was a serious goal for AT&T, maybe they shouldn't regret their initial offering of unlimited data, even if it makes much more sense now not to offer.
