Re: Give Me A Break

said by devnuller See Profile :

What people pay is far lower than wholesale market rates for bandwidth. This is due the ISPs ability to share the cost among average and heavy users.
In other words, the average users subsidize the heavy users. That differential will eventually vanish. As different communications technologies come together -- actually, as mainstream communications technologies (television, telephone) find themselves riding on HSI more and more, average users will become heavy users, and so everyone will have to start paying for what they use.
