the day isps start selling movies is the day they'll stop talking about bandwidth caps. i don’t think it’s got anything to do with "hogging" and everything to do with content sales.

I share your view, Jack. Bandwidth is bound to get cheaper to provide every year, and what post-Napster broadband users want is plain bandwidth (and lots of it!) with no strings attached. ISPs may have their own dreams of how to make money with content but for now their core business is buying and selling bandwith, and so it should stay. Caps are just one way of pricing bandwidth, and healthy competition between ISPs is the best guarantee against overpricing (and other forms of pissing off your best customers
).
