with caps on d/l's but not u/l's (so far) the negative effects on file availability should be small at first, since you can still share all you want even if capped. however, due to the added expense of downloading it means you'll be getting less and less music as time goes by, and that will ultimately put more pressure on those p2p users on systems that don't cap, thereby reducing overall hosts. fewer sources will mean longer queues and fewer choices, and it's all bad for file sharing.
meanwhile one of the largest fiber optic owners in the us, metromedia, is considering declaring bankruptcy because they have way too much capacity and the prices they're getting to transmit data are so low.
because of a huge glut.
something wrong here, no?
