They probably thought in those days that customers would be law abiding citizens who would not be tied to their machines for more than a few hours each day, would watch video on their TVs and listen to radio on their radio.
In the beginning ISPs were more interested in building up a customer base than what customers were doing with their connections. Now they are thinking in terms of making a profit from broadband not having it as a loss maker.
The vast majority of customers will have no problem staying within the caps and they do far more than just a bit of web browsing and emailing.
