Nail right on the head!

This guy knows what he is talking about....

"Any large carrier with a cap below 100 gigabytes and a price above $30 is abusing market power. Their bandwidth costs are less than the marketing budget, and the customer is profitable.

I believe Time Warner's interest in bandwidth caps has little to do with its own costs and a lot to do with the emergence of movie downloads and streaming television programs over the internet. "The smart people at Time Warner are scared of people watching TV directly over the internet. 'Lost' and 'Desperate Housewives' look better over the internet than they do on digital cable."

TWC is also scared of things like appleTV and iTunes movies hurting their on demand service, sure VOD is instant but you could basicly order on itunes before leaving for work that day and even full DVD quality would be done by the time you got home from the office. and i bet VOD makes them a ton of money since cost of deliver is nearly zero.
