Hoping to cope with the increasing popularity of file sharing, Japan's prominent NTT Communications intends to soon cap each broadband subscriber's uploads to 30GB per day. However, unlike cap proposals recently surfacing among Western broadband providers, download limits will remain uncapped for now.

By targeting large uploaders the limits will likely hit the small portion of OCN's 7 million customers who operate file-sharing servers from their connections, said Tei Gordon, an NTT spokesman in Tokyo. The limit corresponds to about 7 full-length movies per day.
