ISPs tell government that congestion is not a problem, impose data caps anyway

(Ars): http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/07/isps-tell-government-that-congestion-is-not-a-problem-impose-data-caps-anyway/

   "After consulting focus groups of Internet customers, government
    researchers have come to a conclusion that should surprise no one:
    people don't want data caps on home Internet service.  But customers
    are getting caps anyway, even though ISPs admit that congestion isn't
    a problem. The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) today
    released preliminary findings of research involving surveys of
    cellular carriers, home Internet providers, and customers."
