Re: Internet has become a utility

said by Corydon:

If Internet access is a utility, then why not bill for it as such?

My guess is that most people here wouldn't like utility-style billing. We pay for electricity by the kWh. We pay for gas by the therm. Water and sewage is also usage based. So do you want to pay for Internet access by the MB?
Many here wouldn't like it - they chew through LOTS of GB per month.

Now, me? At a whopping 30GB per month... why not? My bill will surely be reduced - like maybe by half(or more).

No, internet is not a utility.
It is a luxury - can be considered a novelty.
Maybe in the future it will become a utility, but it will have to SERIOUSLY advance before that time!
