I don't call it a free lunch, but I wouldn't go back to limited data. T-Mobile offers unlimited data
and WiFi for $30/month, with pretty much no catches. Alas, I use Verizon, which is more expensive, but it's also quite fast.
I think Philip outlines an excellent point for WiFi, though. Unfortunately, the mobile team at Microsoft often has to tradeoff features in the interest of actually shipping product, and I haven't seen seamless support for multiple connection types at the top of the featurelist. However, that's for shipping OSes; it's possible Microsoft is working on this for future OSes. If the opportunity does arise, I will chat with the MS folks about it.
I do think UMA will gather attention and drive support.
