Re: Business plan neglects the broadband ISPs

Oversold, yes. Your uses are your uses. The problem I see is that what you decide to use your service for effects the degree others can use their service for when they're paying the same amount. I never "abused the network" (as ISPs put it) with excessive downloading via torrents, and yet a cap was imposed on me as if I did. And very soon I predict the shoe will drop with overage fees for those exceeding the cap limit.
Now services such as this give the ISPs the excuse to lower caps even further under the guise of a bandwidth crunch, expediting the the initiation of overage costs. This will hurt the mass consumer.
