It is interesting how Comcast released their official cap limits one month before the Xbox360's ability to stream movies and HD content from Netflix.
A lot less interesting than if they did it after.

Very interesting..

Can anyone say "AntiTrust"?????
Nope. The 250 GB cap affects 0.01% of their users.

TODAY it does. You could say back in 2003 that only 0.01% of thier users used 10 GB a month or more. To assume it will continue to be that small of a % is ignorant.

Besides is only 0.01 go voer that cap then they don't have much a badnwidth issue to need those caps anyways. Also a straight cap won't solve any potential bandwidth crunch anyways. At least not in any efficient manner.

Your should be careful to not assume that the limits of the caps won't increase over time as the infrastructure continues to be upgraded.

You're correct. Active traffic management, along with infrastructure upgrades, are necessary to mitigate sustained bandwidth crunches.
