Because, in my opinion, they are trying to make the "most money" by inhibiting competition in another industry...television.

Shaw isn't capping because too many people are reading Calgarypuck or CNN, but because the majority of "high bandwith users" are consuming other things, like television shows and movies...which is in a direct competition with their Shaw television service.

Capping internet usage inhibits competition, such as netflix, itunes or whatever else is out there in the television industry..which is my major beef with what Shaw is doing.
