According to Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/5056447/sprints-xohm-wimax-will-neuter-heavy-downloaders), heavy downloaders will be neutered:

“To ensure a high-quality experience for its entire subscriber base, XOHM may use various tools and techniques designed to limit the bandwidth available for certain bandwidth intensive applications or protocols, such as file sharing.”

From the sounds of it, Skype and other flavors of VoIP may be targeted as well.

the ‘day pass’ idea is intriguing, I would like to see a $10 day pass for GSM 3G, and maybe $30 for a week. Would be nice for traveling.
