| Re: I can see it now This ties in to the Net Neutrality debate.
I think sale by the megabyte is in the future regardless if the Bells etc can charge the big providers. Their not going to take that extra income and build a better faster internet as they claim, they will only buy servers to limit the bandwidth they have now.
What they will do, is charge per gig for web sites they do not partner with and not limit content of their own.
This will force folks to use only their services and content and partners quickly killing off the vast majority of other providers and small upstarts.
Real BROADBAND content will be provided by a small hand full of providers looking more like cable TV.
And like others mentioned... service will still start at 39.99 a month with the first 5 gigs for free. With 3-4 providers this wouldn't last....but with Neutrality in place, least we will have a better chance of keeping the Internet we have. We will have better control of what we get if we control where we go and what we want.
Anyway you look at it, YOUR going to pay for the improvements to the Internet to come. From my prospective, price per gig might be a better route then what may become of the Net if we don't keep the pipes dumb.
