Data Caps and Web TV: Heading for a Clash?

May 05, 2011

The average AT&T customer consumes about 18 GB of bandwidth per month, Kurt Scherf, principal analyst at Parks Associates, told TechNewsWorld. That makes the 250 GB cap for U-Verse subscribers "pretty robust," he remarked.

"Bandwidth caps have been kind of like the airline industry trying to raise their ticket prices," Parks Associates' Scherf opined. "We see a couple of service providers attempt to put caps or limits in place and, if the rest of the crowd doesn't follow, they abandon the effort. So it's certainly a wait-and-see time."
