I really think it should be the user's responsibility to figure out the details, as long as no effort is made to cheat on the provider's part. Market efficiency will end up dictating the progress in the end anyway. Having laws like this just makes the services more expensive overall, and does no good to the majority of people.

How many people who don't at least have a basic understanding of 4G transmission speeds will know what a megabit or megabyte is anyway? Even in an university setting (which should represent a highly biased group of overall educated people), the majority of students just know basic facts like "my song is 6mb".

But hey! On the bright side, creating useless jobs will add to our GDP. Props to modern economics.
