> Landline broadband providers have no technical limitations on how much data their infrastructure can carry I don't think that's true? There are limits they're just farther from being hit. > there are limits to how much data can be squeezed into certain bands of the spectrum and some bands aren't conducive to cellular data. This still doesn't explain why some kind of traffic should get preferential treatment. If there is not enough bandwidth, add caps and/or prices increases so supply matches demand. > The second reason is that most people don't have a choice when it comes to home internet service - meaning no competition. There are plenty of choices with wireless carriers as long as the government doesn't allow consolidation. Yup this is probably the most important point. Although competition in wireless is nonexistent outside of major cities too.
