i didnt think much of it until you mentioned the "measured in Kbs". While I doubt we would use it enough to put any real marks on our data usage, i wouldnt put it past them to say "each NFC payment counts as 1 megabyte" or something stupid like that to help inch people over their MB allowances.

Yes because that's exactly what they want to do. Sabotage millions of dollars in investments and have companies pulling out left and right because no one can afford to use the service.

sabotage what? no, its called getting the investment back. If they can get all their customers to go over their data plans just once, they made back their investment with interest. Most customers wont even notice.
Do i want them to do that? heck no. Do they have a history of doing just that? oh yea they do.
