$70 Unlimited plans...

so if you can roam off of 3g when you can't get 4g, does this mean you can get $70 unlimited plans even if you mainly roam on 3g, or is there some sort of roaming cap?

There's still a cap for consumers, but business plans (tax id's and such) will be allowed unlimited 3g data as well. Off-network roaming is still limited to 300mb though.
