Re: You can keep it, then, Time Warner.

I think the ISP's are worried about the Heavy Downloaders and Streaming Video. They see the writing on the wall and how this is going to strain their Networks. If everyone is Downloading and Streaming, the present ISP Networks will not handle this load.
No, they aren't worried about network strain or anything of the sort. They worry about losing money to content providers online. Why pay $4 for a PPV when I can stream a netflix movie? Why pay for cable when I can watch online? The only thing that stops that cold is a cap.

The business model they have relied on until now is no longer viable and instead of adjusting and moving with technology they are kicking and screaming the whole way.
