I found the Wired article (and I like Wired) a bit vague on the details.
This is a very good article on the change.
A takeaway:
Quote:
The company will notify users when they hit 65 percent, 90 percent, and 100 percent of their monthly caps, and will also provide historical usage reports and a monthly usage tracking tool. (AT&T says that an average DSL user on its network currently transfers 18GB each month.)
Even customers who exceed the cap won't pay right away; only after going over the cap in three separate months will fees be assessed.

I asked the company if a U-Verse subscriber's IPTV traffic would count toward the cap and was told that it would not. Accessing Internet video from YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. would count, however.
