Broadband is a utility just like any other, and ought to be treated as such. I completely agree it should be capped or metered just like water and power are. I also agree that my usage should be my business, and that telcos have no right to tell me that I can use megabits I paid for in one way but not another. I wouldn't tolerate it if, for example, Xcel Energy told me that I could only power General Electric appliances. Also, unlimited is an awfully big amount, and if your business model depends on unlimited in any way, the odds are that you either haven't thought it through or that it's simply not viable.
