Content is nice...

But its a real pain in the ass when you have to limit the amount of content, news, research and information you can see because providers slap unrealistic caps on their users... Broadband will never take off if caps become more and more prevalent because then people will be afraid to use it because they will fear the ire of the nazi-esque abuse departments watching you byte count like hawks.

Of course practices like that reek of content provider manipulation, where the content provider will allow unlimited on network consumption of their content (cable companies, AOL, etc.) and limit off network consumption.
