The net neutrality debate has become more real with Comcast’s decision to cap downloads. However, with Comcast, the present cap is set so high, one would have to be into a lot of online video to approach the cap. I suppose heavy use of NetFlix might quality, but the targeted folks are likely BitTorrent users. As long as the cap is based on volume and not MIME type I am less concerned.
I wonder if there is any way to actually learn how much content a household downloads? If providers keep such data, it would seem reasonable to make it available to users.
TechCrunch has put together a post that summarizes many of the pros and cons and has generated a good deal of discussion.
