Smartphone owners typically are expected to consume hundreds of kilobytes a month.
Users of mobile broadband for their notebooks or netbooks might consume a couple gigabytes a month.
Tablets that might be used heavily for content consumption could in some cases represent heavier demand that that, but not as much as many PCs on fixed connections. More granular pricing will be helpful, even though users might be expected to worry that they do not know enough right now to pick the best plan.
Carriers can help by providing better usage tools, communicating with customers and by being more flexible about allowing end users to shift plans when their usage behaviors change.
Users have gotten pretty comfortable with "buckets of usage," and mobile broadband buckets ultimately should be as acceptable as voice buckets have been.
