Per Byte Billing Kills Innovation

Good point.

The only innovation it reinforces is innovation in finding new schemes to milk the scarcity cash cow, i.e. innovation in billing, not innovation in the network.
The logic has never made any sense.
If scarcity suddenly becomes an even richer source of new revenue there is zero incentive to innovate scarcity away. Instead you endlessly milk the cash cow, do what you can to intensify the scarcity problem and avoid innovation.
