why would any company invest $ in researching any technology involving using the full ability of someones connection, if they know the consumer won't be able to cost effectively use that service?

It's not going to stifle anything. ISP's bandwidth limits are going to increase as necessary. Our cable company used to have a 5GB bandwidth limit. It's gradually gone up over the years. There's absolutely no reason that the top 2% of bandwidth users shouldn't have to pay a premium. It's not that expensive and I don't mind.
From the link I posted "98.9% of users had less than 40 Gigs of bandwidth usage, 86.98% of used less than 10 Gigs, 49.46% of used less than 1 Gig of bandwidth usage per month."
