It seems obvious to me that consumers as well as product developers can easily consume as much internet as you can provide. Why not? As long as developers can make money and consumers are having fun this cycle will continue forever. Introduce a cost factor and the process will regulate it's self. Imagine a municipal water system with no usage fee. Developers would create, among other things, hydroelectric generators for your faucet. Attach these devices, turn the water on full blast, and power you're appliances at the water utilities expense. Water consumption would go thru the roof and you could fire the power company. How is that different than having your ISP deliver Video content so you can fire your Cable or Satellite Company. Steve B.
