Remember that sweet deal that came with the iPad 3G where you could buy unlimited access to AT&T's (T) cellular network for $29.99 a month with no two-year contract required?

Well it's going away -- 40 days after it started -- as part of the sweeping changes in its pricing plans AT&T is putting into effect on June 7. In its place are the $15 DataPlus and $25 DataPro plans described below.
It's all part of AT&T's effort to relieve stress on its beleaguered network by going after the heaviest users -- the 2% of its customers who push or pull through it more than 2 gigabytes per month.
Some of those customers, however, will be grandfathered in. If you are an existing AT&T customer with an Apple (AAPL) iPad or an iPhone -- and there are some 20 million of you -- you have the option of sticking with the $29.99 all-you-can-drink plan. At least for now.
