The Data is capped

You provided a link to all things D at the bottom of the article, the link was:

http://allthingsd.com/20131002/target-confirms-brigh ... »

it says on that page the data is capped.
bad info...if you refer to the Brightspot website you will read that the data is throttled to 2G after either the 1G or 4G plans limits are reached.
