One thing there isn't an automatic answer to is whether our current users and our would-be users are differ in their usage pattern. Currently, my intuition would be that most of our users are responsible for a relative small amount of traffic, whereas we have some users who pull a lot of data. I wonder what happens with Netflix, youtube and other services. We might at least want to try and figure this into the equation by estimating our average daily bytes sent/received per users, and comparing that to the bytes sent/received by our target group.
