Ah, but you're making my argument! I agree airtime * spectrum is
the limited quanity for the provider, and so should influence the
cap and pricing.
As far as I can tell, LTE can drive 8-10x the data in the same
spectrum over the same time period, as compared to HSDPA. If you're
really buying "spectrum-minutes" then you should be getting more
data with LTE for the same price.
Of course, I can't think of another industry where the service
provider complains when you use too much. They just bill you more
for using more, they don't cut off their own customer who uses the
service a lot!
