Across the pond, the iPhone is four days away from release in England and a controversial policy surrounding the handset has just changed. According to MacNN, British national newspaper The Telegraph has discovered that wireless carrier 02, which was awarded the contract to exclusively carry the iPhone in England, will not impose a data cap on Web usage of the iPhone.

The iPhone, which will hit English shelves on Friday at a retail price of £269 plus £35 to £269 to £55 per month, had been advertised as being shipped with an "unlimited" data policy which the company decided to offer a "fair usage" stipulation on, thereby restricting iPhone users to 200 megabytes per month.

02 representatives cited that the removal of the fair use policy came at the hands of customer response, which indicated a strong distaste for a cap on something branded as "unlimited". O2's analysis of customer usage found that most customers use just five megabytes of data per month on normal cell phones.

"Customers find 'unlimited with limits' confusing," said O2 CEO Matthew Key, "plus most people don't speak in megabits or understand what they equate to. So we've taken the decision to remove the fair usage cap so that 'unlimited' really does mean 'unlimited' -– this is a market first."

The two remaining restrictions for the iPhone will remain as follows:
-The iPhone cannot be used as a modem.
-All data transferred must be for personal use and not commercial purposes.
