the owners/user/leasor of the pipe usually pay for the pipe and are also charged for bandwidth per bit/byte used.
the real gripe is the other isp's whose users on dsl/cable are not paying the per bit/byte so they (isp's) feel somehow cheated that they can't get their slice of the pie.
If they charged the end user per byte/bit used, the isp would soon get very lonely and have a lot of unused equipment laying around.
God knows how they'll screech when IPTV-HD comes about with its bandwith requirements.
Watch a 1 hour TV show in HD get a $150 bill for bandwidth usage.
Exactly! These idiots are looking for ways to have content providers pay more for something they're already paying for under the disguise that it will protect the end user. HA!! Raise your rates FOO! If you can't handle it, get out the the business.
