Fairness, parallel TCP connections

This is a network related question, transport layer, TCP congestion control.

"Fairness, parallel TCP connections • application can open multiple parallel connections between two hosts • web browsers do this • e.g., link of rate R with 9 existing connections: • new app asks for 1 TCP, gets rate R/10 • new app asks for 11 TCPs, gets R/2"

Can someone clarify to me why a new app that asks for 11 TCPs gets R/2 bandwidth? Thank you
