 JPWhite join:2004-09-12 Hendersonville, TN | Bovine Excrement Once you start charging by the byte the incentive to steal wireless bandwidth from others will increase. Encryption systems will be hacked like never before, folks will be discouraged from using wireless at all. (Lest they get a huge bill because a local hacker decided he needed some free bandwidth).
Advertisers could also get sued for wasting billions.
Most communications services have already gone flat rate or are going in that direction. Long Distance for instance is pretty much flat rated nowadays. Even international LD is beginning to go flat rate.
The idea of per byte internet is a load of BS that will go nowhere. |
