There are only two companies who could pull this off.

Google followed by a distant second in Apple.

Comcast and Cox for sure have caps already. Most people just don't realize it.


Yup.


But they actually are pretty generous. And aren't in effect during off-peak hours.

Most people never even come close to reaching them. Of course, that could change quickly.


But I think the ISP's are cautious to implement too stringent of caps so as to avoid regulatory pressure.

100% correct. My Cox bandwidth cap is at 200GB. However they currently don't charge me, cut me off, or throttle me. They just send me a polite email saying that in the future I may incur fees if I keep going over and they recommend an upgrade to a better plan.

Why the hell is Intel doing this...seems kinda far abreast from their market, no?



They see an obvious hole in the market with little to no barriers to entry.

I'm a noob when it comes to caps, but they haven't told us shite, and we usually have at least two devices streaming Netflix on the regular.
