| Look at who runs "those ISPs" ... The predominant profession of those in our government's legislatures are lawyers, and, as a result, we have too many/too complex laws that we have to live under. A situation only a lawyer could tolerate, if not actually like.
The ISPs that do. or want to, implement bandwidth "caps" and by-the-byte billing, are run by BEAN COUNTERS. As a result, those companies' efforts to increase their profits are not concerned with innovation or improving the quality of their products, to attract new business, they BEAN-COUNT!. This typically involves the creation of new "line items" that they can bill for, outsourcing tech support to low-paid idiots, and iterations of "cut a corner and run the numbers".
The act of using an ISP that's run by bean-counters, rather than (computing) industry professionals the same kind of poor choice as hiring a dog proctologist to remove a the brain tumor that caused you to make your poor choice of ISP.
