Comcast tells government that its data caps aren't actually "data caps"

(Ars): http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/08/comcast-tells-government-that-its-data-caps-arent-actually-data-caps/

    Setting limits on data and charging extra when customers exceed them
    is precisely the type of scheme that nearly everyone besides Comcast
    considers to be a "data cap." It's the phrase normal people use to
    describe wireless data plans with exactly the same type of structure.
    Comcast has gone so far as to ask for a correction to an article that
    called the limits "data caps" instead of "data thresholds" or
    "flexible data consumption plans." Now it's trying to convince the
    government that its data limits aren't actually data caps.
