Been There, Done That

The ISPs that are doing this forget that metered billing
(or usage) has been tried once before, with providers
like AOL, Compuserve, etc. in the early days of the
Internet. Most of the services that did this are no longer
around, and AOL is on life support.

If Cox, Comcast, and others do this, and charge high
prices for low amounts of usage, history will only repeat
itself.
