The Headline in the link doesn’t match the text of the story in that blog. It does mention both youTube and the I-Player as likely causes of increased bandwidth by consumers, but nowhere does it suggest censorship or banning, other than the heading.
The story says that high bandwidth users are slurping up all the bandwidth, and they will have probably have to pay more in order to cover the costs of installing new hardware.
It posits that using 50Gb a month may mean a 12% surcharge in the near future.
Actually, down here in the Sout Pacific that’s already the case with cheap “broadband” accounts available at lower bandwidths, and premium levels costing more. We never really ever had spare infrastructure down here anyway.
