    No, the big US carriers aren't done shadowing each other's moves yet. AT&T has responded to Verizon's new phone plans with Mobile Share Advantage plans that scrap overages and increase the data you can get, but carry their share of catches. Prices now start at $30 per month (plus $20 per phone) for 1GB of data with unlimited US talk and text, and you won't wake up to a horrific bill if you underestimate your needs. As with Verizon, you'll be throttled to 128Kbps for the remainder of the month if you hit your data cap -- you can drop $20 for an extra 10GB if you can't imagine going without streaming videos for a few days.
