For the downvoters, I'm just pointing out that removing all caps and limits doesn't automatically create abundance.

As far as establishing effective policy: ISPs have a lot of practice rationing bandwidth, I'm sure there's a way that's fair enough. Putting a price on it is a good start.

True, and if they can provide reliable service without the data caps, then it makes the public (and in a perfect world, government regulators) question why they need the data caps at all -- if their network runs fine for months without any data caps, then why do they need those caps at all?

It's easier and fairer to load balance and keep upgrading backhauls when they get full.
