What happens when the HL2 Steam style distribution becomes the norm (and it's not as far off as NTL must be hoping)?

Sorry - Steam is a great idea, but complete crap when you get to the bones of the technolgy around it. With the amount of RAM Steam takes up on most peoples PCs, it will not be popular, will put a lot of people of, and therefore should not be considered as a factor - all imo, of course

I'm not saying that there should be no restrictions, I'm saying that NTL's are VERY low for their top tier and that by the time they introduce it it WILL cause them problems for a much higher percentage of their userbase than it would if they were to introduce it now
PLEASE bear in mind that the cap isn't 30Gb a month it's 1gb a day, If I were to purchase HL2 silver, I would have to spread that download over 4 DAYS to avoid going over the cap, which frankly is ludicrous, OR go over the cap by ~3Gb (assuming I did NOTHING else with the internet that day).
I'm concerned that the "Pro cap" posters seem to either imply or outright accuse people exceeding the cap of either being "Pirates" or "running a business", it's not on IMHO, especially when there are so many ways of breaching NTLs AUP without doing either.

OK, Steam. That's one (that hopefully most people won't want anywhere near their PCs if they have any sense)... Any more legal activity that needs more than 1 gig a day?
