The incredible shrinking Internet
Topic: Business 7:44 am EST, Nov 14, 2008

Bill St. Arnaud:

Changes being made under the rubric of fighting excessive use of bandwidth by that mythical 5 percent of broadband subscribers that use 90 percent of available bandwidth have nothing to do with freeing those ill-used bits for legitimate use.

From a March 6, 2001, transcript of an online chat between Bernd-Jürgen Brandes (cator99) and Armin Meiwes (antrophagus):

cator99: I’m in telecommunications

antrophagus: Oh, that sounds interesting

cator99: I believe you

Also:

The best network is the hardest one to make money running.

This is the Paradox of the Best Network.

More recently:

Comcast, the nation's largest cable company, has announced that it will impose a monthly cap of 250 GB on its customers' Internet usage.

Gobble, gobble.
