It's been around since the 1xRTT days where it wasn't common at all to use 30mb in a month. A $39.99 plan has been around for years, but it was very limited- 30 mb if I remember right.

VZ started the "5GB Unlimited", the rest in the tradition of "price fixing", jumped on the bandwagon, and no one, no FCC filed a law suit for falls advertising of the word "Unlimited"! Anyone say "LOB-corruption"?? ThanK You “The 5GB Joke”

Example:

@5GB

In 30 days, by visiting 7-8 Sites per day, with “zero” downloads = 2GB
Add “30″ PowerPoint file downloads=2GB+1GB=3GB
Add a “600MB” PDF Torrent file, doubles usage to “1.2 GB” = 4.2GB
No Youtube visits!

@10GB

10 GB would allow
add “one” 4.7GB DVD 120 min download/upload +4.2GB = 8.9GB
add “200″ MP3 download/upload @ 1 GB + 8.9 GB= 10GB

The websites today, are flash intense/heavy, no longer 2000 era tech-data standards, 10GB should be the minimum choice/option @ $40 per month.
VZ started the “5GB Unlimited”, the rest in the tradition of “price fixing”, jumped on the bandwagon, and no one, no FCC filed a law suit for falls advertising of the word “Unlimited”!
Anyone say “LOB-corruption”??

ThanK You

Heck it would be easier to subscribe to 3 or 4 cards and swap them out every week. As someone who works on the go constantly, I'm always using my card for daily usage. 5GB is nothing for a month, especially with all these sites with Java and Flash usage. Sprint needs a real plan for heavy users and they need it now. 4G is still years away. $5 for 100MB… oh well a fabulous deal… so what happens when you go over by 5GB, which is super easy to do if you are a heavy user. $250 overage charge!

Anyone can register online at the IRS and get a EIN instantly. Just claim "sole proprietorship" http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html Is the only requirement the tax ID?
