"This is a near-term fix, and the bottom line is that network operators are going to have to invest a lot of money in new technology to ensure they can cope with demand from their customers." As far as I'm concerned, this ought to be a permanent change. If I get to buy a data bundle (where a data bundle is literally a quotum of data), that would be a direct financial incentive to the operator to make the network faster: the faster they can help me eat through my bundle, the faster they'll sell the next bundle. I find that a lot more appealing than the model where I'm promised a certain speed, which I may or may not get in practice due to overprovisioning, and where in the end I just get to feel ripped off.
