Videostreaming and P2P separate from other data traffic

Videostreaming and file sharing are by their very nature different from other types of Internet traffic. They grow and grow. Operators pay more and more in network infrastructure to keep up with demand for "unlimited" data plans.

I'm guessing that within 5-10 years (=2016-2021 timeframe), these types of traffic will have developed into a separate part of "Internet access" with different policies, quotas and tariffs.

We'll see if I'm right.

Update 2016: The first occurrences of "sponsored data" are appearing. 3 in Sweden are giving away free music streaming. Verizon and AT&T are working on sponsored data, as are Telefónica. The net neutrality debate is still raging, however. The basic issues is kickback, will network owners be able to charge content providers for use of their transport, or not? That is still not settled, but the sponsored data initiatives are moves in that direction. File sharing is not as big as it used to be. Video is growing faster than ever. But it's still not a separate quota. Not sure if we're on track for this one.
