Of course, there are ways around this, such as pricing the "base GB"
below the unlimited plans.  Then parents who surf the web for 20
minutes a day might beat their kids into turning off eDonkey and save
some cash.  Suddenly _everyone_ is happy - except the kids.  But since
they don't pay cable bills, no one cares.


You are sadly mistaken if you think this will save anyone any cash,
even light users.  Their prices will not change, not a chance.
Upgrade your network instead of complaining that its just kids
downloading stuff and playing games.
