Doubt if I get an iPhone, I'd be that lucky and have to migrate to their higher priced plan.

The only difference is the name and the price. Media Net plans are the same identical thing to data plans.
Same with iPhone (at least iPhone 1). It's just a media net plan.

Available Service Plan Details/Rumors

There is also a rumor going around that existing iPhone plan owners for the EDGE iPhone may be grandfathered in, meaning that they would have the option to upgrade to the 3G data plan for the new phone at the same monthly price as their old EDGE plan.

Ya right at&t give up that much money I doubt it. Just think if there are 1 million iphone owners that upgrade att just lost out on $240 million for the life of those subscribers contracts. Do you really think they are going to do that. I bet they won't?

It would be nice to have a little something for original iPhone owners. Maybe a year of $20 / month 3G access. Something to promote goodwill and enhance customer loyalty.

The new $30 data plan for the iPhoen 3G is that going to include txt messages? I don't know anything about their standard data plans. All I know is the 200 txt msgs that come with the iPhone.

From an MSNBC article:

Consumers with the current generation iPhone pay $20 a month for an unlimited Internet and e-mail use, and can send up to 200 text messages as part of that plan. However, those who buy the new iPhone, due out July 11, will pay $30 a month for unlimited Internet and e-mail. It is not clear yet whether text messaging will be part of that cost, or an add-on.

“That’s part of the pricing we’ll get into more detail about as we get closer to launch date,” said Mark A. Seigel, executive director of media relations for AT&T Mobility.

The question I have is can you use the $30 Consumer Data Plan to access a corporate Exchange server or will AT&T force you onto the $45 Enterprise Data Plan? In essence what is the difference between the two?

I would hope that as an individual user I could use the $30 plan to connect to my work's exchange server.
