 | This is just greed Repeat after me. There is NO UNIT COST to move a byte. There is only CAPITAL cost. If they build a network that can support X amount of bandwidth, then they should SELL X(bandwidth)/# of users. Very simple.
Again, the ONLY cost to TRANSFER DATA is CAPITAL COSTS. They need to BUILD the network, then it's almost FREE to run it. Apart from salaries, there is no reason to charge based on how much you use. It's PURE GREED by the companies looking to rip off the customer.
I predict this will die an ignominious death. No one in the US, or most of europe or asia (sorry if you're down under), will EVER pay for something as stupid as this. -- Stick it to the MAN.

 | umm, no, we haven't. You just spout random facts that have nothing to do with the issue.
Just for giggles, please explain (apart from the electricity), how it costs ANY money to move traffic? Oh, wait, it DOESN'T. Once you've paid for the equipment, once you've paid for the circuit, there is NO COST. It costs the same to move 1MB of data as it costs to move 1TB of data.
Look at it this way. THEY OWN the network. PERIOD. There is NO COST to move DATA over their network, once they recoup the cost of hardware,setup, etc. THEY DON'T PAY to PEER.
