You could argue we're getting closer to it in the US. Here's a plan advertised in rural Texas I observed during a road trip a few months ago: http://i.imgur.com/70nUeHH.png

looking at their website, you apparently get unlimited facebook at LTE speed, but the data plan for non-facebook data is capped to a varying limit depending on price at 3G speed. They also have a plan that only has talk/text/facebook access.

IANAL but isn't that what this title 2 thing was supposed to prevent? This sounds like the famed "internet fast lane" which we always claimed was going to manifest as the "internet normal lane for a few, slow lanes for all the rest"
