But in another magazine (I think it was "Time" Magazine...), they said that Comcast placing a cap on bandwidth usage was unconstitutional.

If the Constitution really stipulates regulations on how private businesses can handle their affairs and price their wares, I'm a monkey's uncle.

Actually, I think it violated freedom of speech by limiting customers' access to information.

Let me put this another way: if capping bandwidth is unconstitutional, the logical reverse is that unlimited broadband access is a Constitutional right.

Man, they didn't have intertubes when the 4th was written, so the FBI can read all our email because it doesn't mention SMTP in the Bill of Rights.
