    To throw my two cents in Thunderbolt, slated to be released in April to the general public, is 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and is expected to get even 10 times faster in ten years (that or vaporware, we shall see).

    Internet traffic restriction policy

    The usage I'm allotted is 1 Gb/mo. I've heard in the past, with respect to computer users, that only heavy users were restricted. Does this work differently for cell phone users?
