Zipf's law AKA "the 80-20 rule"). With the Zipf's exponent typical of web usage and video watching, I would predict something closer to 10% of the users consuming 50% of the usage, but this estimate is not that unrealistic.
I would predict that these sorts of distributions will continue as long as humans are the primary consumers of bandwidth.

That's until the spambots inherit the world, right?
