From what i understand:

  1. multi-tier or “pay-per-byte” is only for new customers, which there will plenty since both ipad and now iphone 4 will be in the market. I wont fall in that category since im an existing customer.

  2. according to ATT’s own research only 2% of the their customers use more than 1 GB bandwidth per month (source NPR news). These are the folks who download the whole sitcom shows on their iphone and watch it or download podcast or possibly run and maintain their website or blog or server from their iphone. I again dont fall in this category. I dont mind paying $30/month for the data service plan, which i already am paying.

So this multi-tier pricing is going to weed out those network hoggers who are somewhat abusing the system. Will it make ATT’s 3G network any better for the rest of us remains to be seen.
