It has been years since data caps though, and years of obnoxious ads, nothing has changed.
The only way in my opinion to fix this is to (a) give phones HARD preferences on maximum data that cannot be exceeded and (b) give web browsers even stricter per-site settings with sane defaults. Then, let the ad companies fight within themselves to figure out how to deal with the fact that none of their content gets through anymore. Force them to innovate into smaller form factors.

If I load a webpage on my mobile data that uses 10MB of data, I want to know about it so I can shut that down (and never come back.)
