Tools-gebruikers die een mac.com-account hebben zullen al een mailtje hebben gehad:
Apple heeft spelregels bekendgemaakt voor de hoeveelheid bandbreedte/traffic:

Apple has recently implemented bandwidth limitations on iTools HomePages. If an iTools user's website receives more than 500 hits in a six-hour period, the user is limited to roughly two times their iDisk capacity of data throughput in that six-hour period.
iTools users who have upgraded their iDisk capacity will have additional bandwidth. If an upgraded user's website receives FEWER than 500 hits in a six-hour period, the user is limited to roughly 14 times their iDisk capacity in that six-hour period. If an upgraded user's website receives MORE than 500 hits in a six-hour period, the user is limited to 2.5 times their iDisk capacity in that 6 hour period.
When these limitations are exceeded, that iTools user's websites will be disabled for a period of up to, but not greater than, 12 hours. The limits stated here are subject to change without notice.

Het cijferwerk klinkt redelijk, al zullen gebruikers die hun on-line winkeltje of bedrijfje ermee runnen wel gaan klagen. Maar ja, dàt is ook geen "privé-gebruik" meer te noemen (wat Apple zelfs oogluikend toestaat, ondanks de licentie-bepalingen).
