Смысл: The text criticizes the implementation of restrictive 1 GB monthly data limits by US broadband providers like Time Warner Cable, illustrating through a Wired magazine contest that such limits are laughably small and easily exceeded by basic background activities.

Смысл: The main idea is that even in technologically advanced Japan, ISPs like NTT must implement daily upload limits (30 GB) to prevent network abuse by power users (e.g., torrent hub operators), while contrasting this generosity with much stricter data caps in the US.
Japanese provider NTT is introducing a 30 GB daily upload limit to curb bandwidth abuse, a threshold significantly higher than the monthly limits faced by users in the US.
