When you say download, I assume you mean conspicuous download,
because, all the Internet is, is downloading, with an occassional
upload
in between.

No, I assume they'd like to charge for all downloads. Sort of like my electric bill. I pay some base fees/charges, then everything else is billed via how much I use.

It probably won't happen, but I'm sure they'd like that.

I am sure, too, but it would cause them more problems than it's worth trying to legally prove how much we actually 'did' download each month. Unlike electric, which uses a meter to show our actual usage. ;-) Sure it does. 8=O
