naked selfishness

Seems reasonable that people who use extraordinary amounts of bandwidth should pay in proportion to their usage. As it stands right now, ~0.5% of internet users use ~50% of the bandwidth. If the author had any economic sense, he'd realize that implementing surcharges for excess usage would likely reduce costs for the vast majority of users, and as the costs decreased, spur innovation, not hinder it. No doubt the author opposes this because he belongs to the 0.5% group that is benefiting at everyone else's expense.
