Well, either caps serve a point or they don't.
If they do (by incentivizing people to conserve bandwidth on, say, mobile connections) then they need to be consistently enforced, with no exceptions.
If they don't serve a purpose for consumers then they should be abolished anyway.
If Spotify and WIMP use equal amounts of data then they should cost you, the consumer, the same in transfer costs. Anything else just ends up with all consumers subsidizing the incumbents no matter what vendors they choose (like the often criticized "Microsoft tax"), unless they only go with startups that do not have these agreements in place (yet).
> You (and startups) are basically asking for a subsidy that doesn't exist for anyone else. No one is giving Jolla a hand in taking on Samsung or Apple in the phone business.
Oh yeah, let's never try to improve things in new markets that work differently.
