"As a general principle, we believe that maintaining the Internet as a neutral platform means that carriers shouldn't be able to interfere with Web content without users' permission," End Quote

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....

I agree. I use Cox Cable and the amount of spam that is delivered to the email is overwhelming. I don't mind having a little notice telling me that I'm about to reach my cap as long as that is the ONLY thing I receive. Once they start using it as an advertisement platform - then I'm pissed.

Cox is now using DNS redirection here in San Diego, CA. They do allow you to "opt out" but using different DNS servers. I got that switched about 30 seconds after I saw the redirect.
