Could T-Mobile (U.S.) new global plan doom the global SIM card business?

As I see it, this is a great perk if you're a US resident already on or considering T-Mobile's monthly plan ($50/month), especially for it's unlimited data. Even if it isn't at full 3G speeds, that alone would allow you to check email and do all the basics without concern of how much data you're using and the associated cost (previously very expensive). No other international SIM card can offer that as far as I know, and I can see this hurting those guys as far as U.S. customers go. Hopefully this will force them to be more competitive and start rolling out their own data packages, rather than offering data by the megabyte.
