Dear Dave,
My own recollection from having worked at a telco or two on the
Internet side of things is that they had their eye on multiple tiers
of service almost from the moment that DSL became a potential product
-- and that this was a factor in the telcos all (curiously?) opting
to use and specify PPPoE rather than the simpler cableco DHCP
distribution.
Someone closer to the fray than I am now could perhaps shed more
light on this, but I suspect that the telcos have more control over
the deliver of metered bandwidth to individual customers than do
cablecos?
