Do you think that internet average usage will not continue to grow at an exponential rate, as it has done to date?

Do you really think that ISP/telcos/cablecos will not just load more users onto the infrastructure untill the congestion levels are exactly as they were before you removed the 60% ?
If service providers load more users on they will get the extra revenue from those users which can be utilised to maintain and improve the networks. Using the 60% figure mentioned they could probably increase their revenue by 150% before their services were any worse than they are now and if they were reinvesting this additional revenue this percentage increase in revenue would be even higher.
