Actually, I think that this was the timing of the reduction that they announced in February. I don't think that the size of the quota reductions (in particular the data reduction) was announced until very recently. Even then, it was not publicized well (think Arthur Dent and the 'Beware of Leopard' sign).
According to the post that I read, it said that the levels were set so that 10% of the existing free apps at 5 million page views per month would exceed the free quota. How they figured out a page view, I have no idea. Certainly this will screw up any app that serves up any significant amount of graphical content. This new constraint means that a page view has to consume an average of 6000 bytes or less. [ 10**9 / (5,000,000 / 30) = 6000 ] This is really tough if a page view contains a dynamically generated image, or if you are serving an image that is unlikely to be cached on the user's browser (e.g. a photo gallery app). The 6000 byte limit is OK if it just covered the html that you need to serve to render the UI. I would be interested in Google's methodology.
