>Cable & telcos video providers have a big time weapon in the form of transfer caps. And the people will scream bloody murder... in the computer infrastructure industry, you raise your prices by not lowering them quite as quickly as you could. raising prices? your customers will mutiny. I know I would. This expectation that computers, bandwidth, etc... will get cheaper and cheaper over time is strongly ingrained into the minds of consumers. push them back, and they will scream but loud. Isn't this the root of this whole net-neutrality thing? we are afraid that telcos will raise prices (by raise prices, I mean either raise prices, or provide degraded service at current prices) so we want the government to come in and regulate that sort of thing? I mean, regardless of what you think of net neutrality laws, you have to agree that it's a sign that consumers get /very angry/ if you even suggest that bandwidth prices might go up.
