Is Throttling Smartphones Pointless? Study Suggests So

http://j.mp/w0mSbx  (New York Times)

   "AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile USA all practice data throttling,
    which involves slowing Internet transfer speeds for cellphone
    customers who use too much data. This policy applies only to customers
    with unlimited data plans, and the cellphone companies say it is
    intended to prevent data hogs from overloading the network and
    clogging it for everyone else. However, a new study suggests that
    throttling doesn't address excessive data use at all."
