LTE has pretty good airtime fairness (but FIFO per customer). Still 
doesn't work very well when there isn't enough airtime to satisfy demand.

Well, data caps is similar to this. People generally don't like to get 
billed automatically upon higher usage, thus data caps can be used and 
people will have to go to some self-service page and "pay more" if they're 
over the cap, to get a higher cap.
