14 billion GB. Wow.
I can't wait to see how many GB I'll use once T-Mo lights up Chicago with LTE. If I'm using 10-12GB on HSPA, maybe 16-18 on LTE?

seems like nothing to me, lets ban the carriers from selling data caps and we will have zettabytes of data

Good thing I'm still on unlimited data, just had to be a little more patient with 3G data in most places with Sprint. 800k-1Mb on 3G works well enough, I guess I just can't download a Blu-ray movie in 1/16 second without LTE

Once everyone and their grandmother has LTE phones I wonder how all that bandwidth will be handled.
I mean, the government is giving free feature phones the poor, but when they also will get LTE you might even see homeless parking their butt next to a public plug outlet downloading apps and watching Youtube lol!
