This could be wrecked by the ISPs starting to bill you via usage. When you get cable TV, for example, you can leave it on 24x7 and you're fine. If you tried that with your internet connection you'd be kicked off.
I agree. Innovation on the internet will be completely stifled by ISP caps. Internet video will go no where fast. Don't expect the percentage of people downloading from the internet jump significantly.
Why do you think Comcast started the trend by implimenting their 250GB cap..?

I've said this over and over again to the point of sounding like a broken record over the years - Cable companies such as Comcast see Internet video as a direct threat to their video monopolies - and will do everything they can to keep Internet Video to just being a very small niche that is no threat to them.
