If the user is limiting their usage, Google has limited usage, and in return they have limited advertising opportunity. So TWC caps hurt Google's bottom line. Another thank you to Google.

Everyone else would prosper if bandwidth accounts increase in capacity. It is good to see Intel and Google on that list. Also, Alcatel-Lucent can make some big bucks selling fiber optic so of course they are on the list! :-) The only companies that this wouldn’t be in their best interest are the cable companies who are trying to force their VOD services on us.
