In this case there should be standards within individual contract as to the monthly bandwidth usage, when you reach it, your connection should be slowed. There should be no term (abusing bandwidth) You get what you pay for, and thats that, run it out in a day, and there you have it. Easy enough. Right ?
My forecast of the internet ( or in the future, life-net I like to call it ) , everything we do will be on a connection as a whole, there will be nothing that isn't. Hell, they have been working on pacemakers that are controlled by the doctor ( I think we discussed this in the past ), think of the possibilities. We have the technology, we just need to break through this whole ( it's mine thing ) . Sire what we create is essentially ours, but why did we create it ? To better people, or to make money and restrict access to it.
So then what about the people that download legally and reach there limit? They would also be slowed down. If I am paying for a fast service, then I expect to be able to utilize it. By slowing down people who download a lot seems to be taking a step back in technology in my eyes.
