I mean, it makes sense to a certain extent. It's a lot like health care: the gap between "heavy" users and "casual" users is insanely huge, so both businesses and "casual" users should wonder why the heavy users get away with paying the same amounts.
I just don't think it should be a punitive system, which is what they seem to want to describe, and what Comcast was really trotting out (basically charging you a hefty fee for every 50 GB you went over the limit, up to a certain point, so that truly unlimited was like $300/mo or something, after you fought through all the penalty tiers). An "elite" package for heavier users, at levels that heavy users usually operate at and casual users almost never operate at, would be fine, since these elite users clearly value internet access more.
The key is implementation of such a policy. There's a fair way to make sure that the heavy users pay their fair share (while rewarding them maybe with faster speeds in exchange for their high-cost large downloads), and a very unfair way (like no-warning data caps with a sudden $50 penalty fee if you stray from 99.9 GB to 100.1 GB)
