It seems that this silly restrictive mentality will remain even with

In the US, the pipe is limited in any number of ways in attempts to limit how many people share their broadband with their neighbor at a reduced rate.

Another issue is that handing out IP addresses to the home at this point is foolish. User's, in general, can't protect themselves.
