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