Sent to you by Brent via Google Reader: Sprint reportedly confirms
data throttling for 'top one percent' of abusers via Engadget by Darren

So, wait -- is unlimited just unlimited, or is it "unlimited?" Let's
ask the man who spent a solid 30 seconds (and countless millions)
explaining precisely that back in March of last year... oh, wait.
Despite Sprint's claims of keeping its "unlimited" plans "truly
unlimited," it seems that there is a special asterisk reserved for
those who really attempt to push the boundaries. No real surprise,
honestly, but CEO Dan Hesse was quoted earlier today as saying the
following in regard to heavy data users: "For those that want to abuse
it, we can knock them off." Moreover, he affirmed that throttling can
be implemented for "about one percent of users," but did continue to
say that there were no immediate plans for The Now Network to follow
its contemporaries into the deep, dark world of tiered data. Of course,
this is also the man who told us that "nothing is guaranteed forever,"
so make of it what you will -- particularly with an LTE network going
live in around six months.
