| Already here People are talking as if this is something that "might" happen, when in fact it's been going on for years. Many ISPs explicitly charge for bandwidth (not at the first byte, of course - you get a chunk of 'free' bandwidth for your monthly fee). Many others have an implicit price of INFINITY$ for bandwidth (i.e. they won't sell bandwidth at any price if you cross a secret threshold). Funnily, many people are happy to delude themselves into believing that an infinite price is less than a finite price. |
