Time to vote with your feet. The majority of mobile companies will stop offering unlimited data plans, This is a step backwards. CSL apparently will continue.
Also seems like there is less and less choice these days with telecom companies in Hong Kong, and prices now seem relatively high in comparison to other countries. PCCW, Smartone 3HK, CSL, China Mobile(no fixed internet), seem to have control of the market, and their prices all seem very similar or identical. Not quite at the level of price similarity of Wellcome and Park n Shop yet, but certainly strangely similar.

CSL to continue unlimited data plans
13-02-2012
Mobile network operator, CSL, says it will continue to offer unlimited data plans to its smartphone users, but says those who use a high volume of data will be given lower priority to access the network.
CSL says it plans to move to volume-based pricing before the end of this year, but believes customers need more time to work out their data use.
Another operator, SmarTone, has announced it will cap its data plans at two gigabytes to comply with the new guidelines that have come into effect from the Office of the Telcommunications Authority.
The guidelines state that 'unlimited' plans must be offered free of restrictions.
