Data cap's are indirectly related to transmission speeds so you may always be able to burn though the data cap in under 10 seconds, but competition will still slowly raise the cap as technology improves.

IMO, the current 2+GB caps are not that bad, raise that to 20GB and you can watch a fair amount of hulu for example (~50+hours) without a problem.

Has not been my experience at all here in Sweden. Data caps have been lowered across the board over the past year as data speeds and availability has improved.

That's been my experience in the US as well. On EDGE/EVDO or even early days of 3G, unlimited plans were extremely common and fairly cheap. When 3G became more established and 4G/LTE started rolling out, 2GB is now the normal with massive increases in prices as you add more ($10/GB is common).

Strange, in Denmark they have been raised. You can get up to 1 TB mobile 4g lte plans for 70 usd (including 25% vat - http://www.3.dk/Privat/Mobilt-bredband/Abonnement/MB-FRI/).
