Data caps also discourage competition. If you are an ISP that also happens to own a content creation and/or distribution mechanism (you know who you are) then it is also just a nice coincidence that data caps keep your users from getting all their content outside your walled-garden from the likes of Hulu and Netflix.
There needs to be an ISP that operates like a data utility. The ISP would...
