The implications in this article are far worse, IMO. No wonder they'll be allowing VOIP. With data caps, hard or soft, you'll likely not be able to use it for more than the occasional, short chat. Doubtless we'll see streaming video from Sling allowed soon, as well, equally useless with small caps.
