Mobile broadband for laptops aren’t unlimited probably because they use the same technology as a regular mobile phone, but a mobile phone can’t download bigger files size (1GB or above) so they don’t have to put a cap on a mobile phone but they have to put a cap on mobile broadband because if they don’t then you could just happily downloading/uploading and use their bandwidth. Also it is likely because they are not the provider for the 3G/mobile broadband service but rather a supplier to the consumer thus making the bandwidth limited.
