I'd say the large corps that run the backbone are doing what they want anyway.

My AT&T DSL connection only gets 150GB of traffic a month, if I go over it's $10 per 50GB, and I noticed that my Cox Cable connection was running at sub-par for the last week. So I tested and got 5Mb/sec on a 50Mb/sec line. When I called, I was told that I'd used 400GB of traffic in the last 30 days and that an abuse ticket had been opened to alert me to the fact that my wireless must have been compromised Little did they know that I was just downloading my content orders. No mention that they had capped me somehow, but miraculously my download speeds returned to normal while I was on the phone with them

So yes they are already getting anyone that uses outside of what they consider the normal amount of traffic. Cell phone companies do the same thing.

I'm not sure there is a lot we can do to change it
