> I don't see a problem with advertising a phone plan as having "unlimited" minutes, rather than specifying a limit of 10,080 minutes per week

If you buy thousands of these phones, hook them up to a modem, and use them to send and receive information over the carrier's airwaves 24/7, you will overwhelm your tower.



Yes, and? Everything that is supplied by physical processes has some physical limit. It's fine to use "unlimited" to refer to things that are subject to physical constraints, it's not the same thing as "infinite".
