Why would you need to regulate the usage of an unlimited service? Aren't you paying for the luxury of not having to regulate yourself to a fixed limit?

Why would you need to regulate anything. Why can't I leave my shopping cart where ever I like. Why shouldn't I leave all the trash in my seat. Why shouldn't I throw cigarette butts out my window. There's lots of advertised services that are limitless that doesn't make it right to abuse it
