In Favor Of Per-Byte Broadband Billing? > Give Me A Break

reply to KrK

Remedial unit information.

This was my point all along with the comment about comparing apples to oranges. The thread started out at first talking about what the costs of traffic are. It was quickly derailed into what prices someone could in theory pay for some XX speed connection, which it was NEVER about.

So, the "current context" as you put it never was the issue, and no one ever explained why pay-per-byte processing was needed. Basically, nobody answered what it really costs to transfer a 1 meg file.
