To be more explicit: Mozilla's proposal solves this. ISPs get to charge whatever prices they want to consumers, which covers the cost of 100mb bandwidth and technological innovation, but to companies they have to act like a dumb pipe and ensure equal access. This means Comcast has an incentive for innovation even in a monopolistic situation—They can charge users more money.
I'm not sure if this would solve the problem with BitTorrent though...
