I think a huge problem of limiting data like this is advertising. Every single advertisement that is embedded on a web site you visit, you will now pay for just to deliver it. That 2MB animated advertisement, cash out of your pocket. And you don't even have control over it really, I mean you might go to your favorite news sites home page and it could be a total of 1MB one day and 20 MB the next. I think this is not going to go over well, especially when there is a push for even more advertisement to be delivered to everyone on the web, and now you pay for it directly without even having any say in how many MB the content might contain...
Edit: The more I think about this the worse it seems. You will now be paying cash to have advertisements delivered to you!
Edit2: Correct me if I am wrong but don't some of those ipad apps have embedded advertisements in them? Does it go get active content every time you open the app? Won't you now have to pay every time you open one of those apps?
