In the immortal words of Steven J. Sobol (sjsobol () JustThe net):

So you think that dialup users should be allowed to stay online 24/7 for
$20/month on an account advertised as unlimited?

The Federal Trade Commission (and possibly your local district
attorney) will certainly think so, unless your service contracts
contain a novel redefinition of the word "unlimited."

(This is, I suspect, why most of them do just that.)
