1 edit | Fail train There is no hard data that they need to charge by the bit / bite / etc.
They are trying to categorize the fact if something is in lean supply they can make changes to the methods of how to regulate it.
For example, lets look at gas / fuel charges by airlines.
If gas was 4 bucks a gallon airlines added additional fees left and right to things and cut corners. What they should have done was make smarter planes that took less fuel (a.k.a. not do what airbus was doing with their A380).
Now that prices have come down, why are the fees still in place?
Companies need to stop shafting their customers, build a smarter business model, and be more fluid. Get with the 21st century and start building better equipment to handle the needs of your customers (data / video / etc. is only going to grow, stop trying to make excuses for not implementing better methods and policies)
Need I also remind you that in the early 90's the US Government gave the companies TONS of money to upgrade their systems and they did jack sh!t with. The last thing these companies need to do is NOT upgrade their systems, let the USA fall even FURTHER behind other countries in development, and charge MORE for having a monopoly over a market.
This whole idea is full of fail. |

What they should have done was make smarter planes that took less fuel (a.k.a. not do what airbus was doing with their A380). The lead time to purchase/build a new plane (assuming that a more fuel efficent plane model is in production) is about 1-2 years. Thus the need for fuel surcharges is the only way to go (ignoring the cost of purchasing it if it was available "Right Now" and how long it would take to pay back from the fuel savings).

This is double set of books method that is used for pricing gas. If your costs go up you bump your price while waiting to drop your price when the costs go down. |
