Re: In Favor Of By-The-Byte Pricing Cable doesn't want pay by the byte 'cause they couldn't get the $45 minimum from users who only are using the service for surfing and POP3. If users are going to pay by the MB, they're going to expect a $10 connection fee like telephone, THEN the bandwidth charges.
But for the record I would support such a system. I consume hundreds of GB's per month and would certainly pay $150/mo for my usage. But I would only be so charitable if my neighbors using their service for only surfing and POP3 consuming MAYBE 2GB per month pay $10-$15. Otherwise it would just be more of the same ISP double-dipping. |

| exactly.. if ISP's offer a fair per-byte scheme then they will loose eventually since ratio between so called bandwidth hogs and "normal" web surfing user is really large.. Its the same reason the cable/dish doesnt want to go la-carte.. I can buy 200 channel for $100 which means 1 channel is $.50.. but even even if they increase channel pricing by 200% to $2 per channel.. I would just order max 15 channel and pay them only $30.. |
