To put those data plans in perspective, I was just looking to see if my prepaid account with Telia in Sweden still was active, and I learned: Data on prepaid accounts: 100MB/week at up to 6Mbit/s for ~$4. Data on subscription account: 500MB/month at same speed, $10. (if you go over, you're throttled, but no extra charge) 5GB/month at same speed including WiFi hotspot access, $30. So it looks like for heavy data use, it's about the same as the ipad plan. Prepaid, though, you can only get on AT&T in the US and then it's $20/100MB.
