The bandwidth pigs will rue the day they invited the government to regulate the Internet. Not only will they have to pay more, but soon there will be persistent calls for DPI to block illegal video traffic, and maybe even some intrustive and cumbersome identity verification process to allow access to pornography. It will be a Big Brother nightmare for the pigs. Be careful what you wish for!
