Which they will literally never do. They have no incentive to. The absurdly low caps allow them to consistently charge overage fees/print money.

They have no incentive to.

They do, though. I pay ~$50 a month for my cable - if an LTE mobile operator offered a higher cap for even $45 a month it would be tempting to switch over.
