You sir have hit the nail on the head. The article reads as is they invented something revolutionary. I do think there is great potential in browser os market and a little competition is all that's required to pave the way for the 'next big thing'! This might just do good for the ChromeOS.
So why stop the service, charge more for more data use. Or perhaps throttle your speeds. I think he means monopoly in the terms of disallowing service, I guess he should be ok if they charge him more money for more data usage. Either way I believe there is a monopoly where as locations and service providers are concerned and many a times caps such as 250GB are extremely arbitrary. I mean really whats the technical reasoning for a uniform cap of 250GB whether you are in downtown NY of Seattle? Also I would read this... Extremely thought provoking...
