" Let's focus on the likely outcomes, not the unlikely ones." Ok. Porn, Facebook, Netflix, Wikipedia, and General informational browsing. Facebook is likely to become more cemented in their social media spot. Good luck to the competition - Facebook doesn't count towards data limits. Now, this could go many ways, but we already have issues with this walled garden and folks getting all their news from here. I suspect it is reasonable that such a thing will become worse. Wikipedia could easily be included, which doesn't have some of the scaryness of facebook being free from data caps. Netflix draws customers, and some will offer hulu instead. This could be good or bad. But general information to verify things from facebook or wikipedia? Want to browse porn? Forum for that autoimmune disease you have? Now you are going against your plan, going to look at sites that don't especially work with your ISP. Not if you've gotten over your cap. Maybe you are just throttled? Yup, the doctor's office page won't load quickly enough for you to fill it out and neither will your bank's. Oops. Welcome to dial-up speeds on today's internet. There aren't enough people on some of these niche websites to matter to the near-monopoly you call an ISP so folks can't make enough of a stink to get it changed. And that's really the point. It isn't so much that they will automatically do such things - but the fact that we are so powerless to stop it, when it really shouldn't matter to the ISP whether I watch 5 minutes of cat videos on Youtube or 5 minutes of porn. I don't trust the companies to do the "right" thing without minimally basic regulations outlining things.
