It seems to me that the main reason people don’t get unlimited plans anymore is that mobile providers aren’t offering them anymore. See the “I’ll let go of my grandfathered unlimited plan over my dead body” people. It’s especially noticable because pay-for-what-you-use plans like Ting are a lot cheaper for most people, but they’re not particularly popular.
Just because people will allow themselves to be dragged kicking and screaming into the world of data caps doesn’t mean that they would pick that if they had other options.
