Applying Pareto (the '80/20 rule'),  'heavy users' are the top  20% of customers by 
usage,  that are causing the 80% of 'non-value add traffic'.
Of course, by definition the bar keeps lowering - once you've successfully eliminated 
the top 20% of users, the next 20% become the top users, so he'll work to encourage 
those to leave, and so on until you have no customers left.


/me wonders how many 'heavy users' will opt-out from the trial...
