Personally, it isn't the ads that I care about. I just do not see any value in an ad that could cause me to pay a ton of money in overages. I would have 0 problem with ads 24/7 if I got some sort of value in return for being subjected to them.

4 edits | iAds aren't going to break anyones cap. No appreciable data is used unless they click the 3K banner and check out the rest of the iAd. The same could be said about ANY ad on any webpage they view. It is also no different that those on capped laptop 3G plans (like VZWs and AT&T's 5GB caps), those web banners count against their caps too. That isn't going to break anyone's 2097152KB cap or even 256,000KB cap unless they are watching a crap load of them and they include videos.
Anyone so concerned about their data usage need only not click the ads.

Mount Airy, MD | said by Z80A:iAds aren't going to break anyones cap. No appreciable data is used until they click the 3K banner and check out the rest of the iAd. They are in APPLICATION banners. And from the iAd demos, there is some HTML5 interactivity, for what, 250K, 500K, MAYBE 1M? That isn't going to break anyone's 2097152KB cap or even 256,000KB cap unless they are watching a crap load of them. Even if it is one bit, you are still receiving something that you did not ask for at the expense of bandwidth that you could have used for applications that you would have prefered.
And what if you have already crossed the cap outside of iAd usage? Each new ad will push your overage higher and higher.

4 edits | So what? Don't want to pony up the 3K out of the 2,000,000K on your plan...don't use FREE ad supported APPS. Meanwhile don't use the web browser either or check your email...God forbid you get some unwanted content. People seem to forget how small web pages are.
But if you want to enjoy FREE APPS, you will pony up 3K for a banner.
And no, the overages are in groups of 1GB. You don't get pushed 'higher and higher' with each ad. If you go over, you buy another block of data for $10.
So who do you yell at if you are on a cell call and placed on hold? Do you jump from the nearest bridge because they are burning through your precious cell phone minutes?

3 edits | Uh, because you don't buy them?
I suppose you think you are paying for OTA network TV because you "spend" your time sitting through commercials.
Yes, a 3K banner out of a 2,000,000K cap is really going to put people over the top. I love how these whiners don't seem to care about being on hold with cell minutes, junk email or web banners but they have a bug in their asses about a 3K banner.
It's not rocket science sport. Any whining schoolgirls who don't want to see the ad simply don't need to break a nail clicking it. Those getting their panties in a bunch over 3K can simply not use the free apps. Or better yet, they could stop eating Crayons long enough to realize that 3K out of 250,000 or 2,000,000 cap isn't shit.
But don't let reality get in the way of your whining.
