Depends.  I guess I'm a pretty typical user from a mobile device perspective.  I pay Telstra some money and I get "unlimited" calls (of certain types), "unlimited" sms, and a chunk of data that is more than I use in any given month while I'm out and about.  They make no more out of me if they carry that mobile data over 4G or over a cheaper WiFi network.  Obviously there are cases where it would make a difference but there's probably a huge percentage where it wouldn't.
