Hi everyone (I wanted to post this in the general SlingPlayer Mobile forum but couldn't, so I'm putting it in General),

Is anybody else concerned about the fact that practically all US carriers are capping the data usage on phones? I got an account with Sprint just so I can Sling without worries; but with Sprint seems to be the last company that is still offering unlimited data, and who knows how much longer that's going to be... Or am I stressing out over nothing?

I'm not concerned. You'd have to watch A LOT of mobile television to hit those caps - which may or may not be enforced...

"A LOT" is relative though... I am still using Rev.0, and in a week I've already ran up over a gig with just mostly Tivo maintenance only; I've read on other forums where people claim they can easily use a gig or two per day Slinging. With most carriers caps set at 5GB, it doesn't seem too hard at all to go over.

Enforcement is a different issue -- I've only been with Verizon and Sprint, so I don't know the policies of other carriers.
