True enough, but I tend to think that those who've placed a dollar value
on the byte have inflated it's true value by a rather large magnitude.

I don't think unlimited is really needed, but if they started charging a
truely appropriate amount, we'd be better off. If they had their way,
it'd be a dollar a byte.

It is typical for ISPs not to install the amount of infrastructure
really required for their clients. That started with dial-up, with not
enough phone lines for the number of their customers that wanted to be
on-line simultaneously. That problem's largely overcome, thesedays,
particularly with always-on DSL and cable, they've had to bite the
bullet. But it's still common enough for them to not have enough
bandwidth for all their clients.
