I don't think someone should have to maintain an offer in perpetuity because they offered it once (though this differs from "lifetime" offers).

Google should be fucked directly for their anticompetitiveness. Unlimited offers should probably be regulated and forced to specify some limit, since nothing is truly unlimited (eg an unlimited internet connection is actually limited to max bandwidth * time in period). Or maybe they should drop the "unlimited" bit in general.
