If data caps are to be more prevalent, I'd like to see ISPs regulated as a utility. If I use more power, or make more phone calls I'm happy to pay more for that use because the connection fees are equal between high and low demand consumers.

If I pay higher monthly connection costs for high speed access (the monthly service charge) and pay to actually use the service at the intended speed (additional fees generated by a data cap), I am being double billed for service.

Data caps in conjunction with a higher costs for high speed access are a predatory business model.
