[ NNSquad ] Re: Verizon LTE Blows Through Monthly Data Cap in 32 Minutes

[Rahul Tongia <tongia@cmu.edu>]

If we accept network limitations as a genuine reasons for caps, with
sane (true cost driven) pricing, then the same argument should apply
to fixed broadband.  Caps on DSL or cable at just 10-30 GB are not
only low, they are not linked to the cost of "uplinking" - we had an
honest (perhaps accidental) admission by the CTO of a baby-bell who
said the average uplink cost per consumer was just a few dollars per
month.  Say the usage has gone up 3x - bandwidth costs have also
fallen, so the net cost would still be on the range of $5/month +/1
(???).
