and I vote for flat rate electric

I mean, the service to my home will support 200 amps, I should be allowed to use all of that capacity all the time for the same flat rate as everyone else!

Ditto for cell phones! What's with all this 'minutes' stuff!

And water too! The pipes to my house can deliver 100 gallons/hour, I should be allowed to use all that capacity all the time for a flat rate, too!

And all restaurants should be 'all you can eat' for a single price, too.

yadda yadda yadda

It's all so unfair! I want to saturate an OC3 for 20 rupee a month!

That would mean that Broadband providers would have to submit to regulated rates like those utilities.

IE, The broadband would only cost you WHAT IT ACTUALLY COSTS plus a service/delivery fee.

Actually... That might work out ok, because bandwidth is wayyyy cheaper then that...

Still, you'd be damaged by other people's bugs, hacks, spam, Ads, etc. Nope. Just won't work.
