| Metered Bandwidth is coming ..like it or not ! It's just a matter of time !!
Why would "any" ISP do anything to mess with bandwidth such as Comcast did ? P2P, VOiP, MP3, IPTV ..anything that hogs bandwidth puts a severe strain on embedded plant and the pipes. Open Internet does not mean "unlimited usage" and the business to change to metered usage is only a matter of time.
If this was not going to happen, things would be hunky-dorry and there would not have been a Comcast "event".. There would not have been a Verizon "event" on how do you define the word "unlimited"..
Simply stated ..It costs a lot of money to make an Internet.
As the "powers to be" get tired of the monthly balance sheet reeming their butt ..something will have to give..and that something is "end user cost to do intertnet".
It's gonna happen ..so we may all just immigrate to Australia now and "get used to it"..!
