Existing iPad customers, who already have the $29.99 unlimited monthly plan can choose to keep it
Right, but if you bought the iPad, with the intent of getting service only when you needed it, and haven't yet needed it…
if apple ever starts supporting streaming media via the ipod app to the ipad, this would seriously cripple it.

Whats the big deal, its not like you have flash on these things anyway. The only decent site you can get content from is Itunes. 2G of Itunes product is a lot of $. A little extra for the bandwidth is no big deal.
Because of the way it was announced, a lot of people bought the 3G model just as a hedge that when they might need data they were covered. For example when on vacation they could switch on the $30 unlimited data plan just for the duration of their trip, because that would be cheaper than buying wifi in airports and hotels.
Now this is is not possible and Apple and ATT are going to have some explaining to do.
Whoa, you're kidding me right? I know it's still available for existing customers. Thing is, that's a VERY small portion of long term iPad customers. 2gb a month will not cut it. This is a huge detriment to the iPad. Apple needs to cut them out ASAP. I can get past the service problems, taking on the iPhones sudden influx of traffic is more difficult than they think. Capping data at a measly TWO GB? That's absurd.

Then your actual need for an unlimited bandwidth mobile service may be less strong than it felt.

Is this true? Nobody is offering any statistics. What is your current usage? What would drive you over 2Gb?
