O2 Clarifies UK iPhone Data Limits
----------------------------------

  The UK cell carrier O2 will not enforce a "fair usage" policy on
  iPhone data plans, the British newspaper The Telegraph reports.
  Although I could never nail down precisely what "fair usage" meant
  in this context, the Telegraph writes that O2 was planning a 200 MB
  per month limit (see "iPhone Launch Set for UK and Germany, with
  Murky Data Plan," 2007-09-20). That limit has now been lifted, and
  the contract terms on the O2 Web site changed.

  The O2 head said, "Customers find 'unlimited with limits'
  confusing," which shouldn't be a surprise. Verizon Wireless just
  settled with the Attorney General of New York over the firm's
  advertising its cell data service as unlimited, while limiting
  customers to 5 GB per month and restricting permitted activities in
  certain ways.
