I understand that this isn't directly related to shifting packets - but it's 
come up in discussions a few times, and I feel like my understanding of things 
is wrong - if somebody has a few minutes for a diversion to their day - I'd 
love some clarity.

If a mobile carrier was to remove data caps, there would obviously be increased 
demand on the network. One of the arguments against removing data caps is that 
there is "not enough spectrum" available - and this there would be a massive 
speed impact for all users of the cell/tower.

My understanding was that the tower slowdowns were typically related to a lack 
of backhaul - but the argument I am seeing is that it is spectrum related.

Thanks in advance for any clarity you can share.
