Verizon Expanding Subsidized Netbook Offers > Not good for consumers, only good for carriers

The average user is around that limit. There is a very small segment of the population using 100X the bandwidth of the average consumer. This has been the reason companies are pushing to cap and charge for overages because they see that small segment using more as a money making opportunity because it's a small group that in most cases doesn't vote and has no political action outside forum posts like this. In all other markets these small market segments with high usage and from a demographic that isn't politically active they screw them with fees because they know there will be no retaliation. If you use in 100 of gigabytes of bandwidth per month you aren't average and you are a target for increased revenue, get used to the idea.
