Even if you don't use AT&T, you've more than likely heard of the company's variety of unlimited data plans.

It's a story we've heard before: a company starts out as the little guy — the one meant to shake up a market dominated by giant corporations. Then, that company starts to grow, acquires other companies, and continues a seemingly endless quest for growth, eventually forgetting why it was created in the first place.
