Data caps are a form of price discrimination, and will evolve with supply and demand. It's like Apple's upcharge for each jump in flash or SSD size--it's a way to push a higher proportion of costs onto those who value the product the most. The brackets will keep going up and be priced such that lots of people will pay it.

Yes very true. But i think mobile data has to be cheaper as increased data speeds are achieved and users are promoted to make more use of the excess speed on portable devices.
