When I first read about Comcast’s plans to do a 250 GB cap, I was
upset. After all, I believe that a lot of the success that has come
from the internet has come from these unlimited plans. AOL back in the
day with unlimited dial-up, eventually broadband services also being
flat fee. These are all things which allowed the internet to grow at
the rate it has.

That being said, 250GB/ month is a LOT of
bandwidth. Right now, at home I average probably around 1 GB /day and
at MOST have hit 5 GB on any particular day. You can see perspective
from SAI here.

This
means the type of person to be affected isn’t me. In fact, at 250GB a
month, that’s practically business users (and i would not be surprised
by business’s which use less than that).

Some fears:

1. It works too well and they drop the cap.
2. This limits future developments of the internet.

Still, the number seems quite fair. They should just have a higher dollar amount cost for unlimited. I prefer this significantly more than the Time Warner Cable version where they start charging by usage from beginning.

I can’t decide what to think of this tidbit of information.

On the professional side, I think its a total mistake for Matt Damon to have it public he doens’t like video games. If you look at hte movies that he has done (Bournes, Dogma, Rounders, etc), the target audience for his movies has been that young male audience. The very same ones who play a ton of video games. Doesn’t this alienate him a little to the audience that loves him? (I only say this because it definitely changes my opinion of the guy).

On the flip side, knowing that this would hurt his image, but going forward with proclaiming how he feels (and not pretending to be something he isn’t) makes me feel like he deserves props.

Final Verdict?
I’ve way over-thought this one. I bet these thoughts didn’t cross anyones mind (except maybe his agents).
