The last three words of this quote are key. The way I read it is that Google wants a piece of the action somehow, and are just trying to give the impression that they want to protect the user. If there's a buck to be made, Google will figure it out.
Why can't those ISPS send their users an e-mail to tell them that they are exceeding the caps? Or possibly a telephone call?
That would work if you use the ISP's email system. But a lot of people use Google, Yahoo, etc. for their email and would not receive the message....
