Re: Civil rights groups say bandwidth hogs need managing
Yeah have you seen what they consider acceptable usage.
Some companies think 2 dollars a meg over a few hundred gigs passed is a reasonable amount.
Billing by the byte is exactly what telco's wanted to do. Instead of charging the content providers they'll just make it where you accept their walled garden approach to the internet IE their AOL or pay up the nose to access something like google, iTunes, etc.
Unlimited means you access what you want. The minute they begin billing by the byte is the minute you cede any reasonable expectation to access what you want.
Like it or not those same music thieves are the reason any of these companies have upgraded any of their facilities. |
