Re: this was also foreseen...
said by S_engineer  :This cap issue has always been, and will always be about adding additional revenues. Its never been about intellectual property, thats the vehicle they used to sell it! Its just freakin Comcraptic These cable companies want you accessing their content and services, or the content and services provided by their business partners, because it financially benefits them.
Throttling, traffic shaping, download caps, etc., can pose enough of an obstacle that it discourages people from accessing 3rd party content. At the end of the day I think companies like Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner would love nothing better than to become Internet gatekeepers.
If you think that Comcast's 250GB cap is craptastic, Time Warner is testing new account packages that would limit monthly downloads to 5GB - 40GB...
