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.

Sure, I can see the reasoning in that, but again that's not Shaw's job to police themselves, if they think they can do it under the rules then they'll do it.
If they need to step in and separate Shaw TV from Shaw Internet (and Telus TV and Telus Internet, etc) or put in some kind of rules to prevent that kind of thing then so be it.
