Based purely on my own assumption, I'd say that at some point the AYCE plans will go - or be bumped up in price so much that only a madman (or woman) would sign up - given it's handset only and there's only SO much data you can use, unless you've found a way to tether without detection.
I suspect the 30GB plan will then become the top plan, and of course that will be shared with your tethering allowance.
If that happens, it will still be a very generous allowance of course.
I think AYCE still exists because Three has built its reputation around it (no bill shock, although EE can promise that too merely by having a hard cap) and doesn't want to suffer the negative publicity from everyone - not just me!
It can possibly keep it going knowing how much data people really use despite having no limit, and just to continue saying it offers truly unlimited data, but eventually very few people will actually be on one of those plans.
