Re: Metered Billing?

Common sense? He's not making much sense to me at all.

He says that Time Warner was shouted down because they were transparent, but AT&T is moving forward without telling consumers -- and somehow that makes AT&T right? So let's get this straight, AT&T and TW exist to provide a service. When they want to change their service and their customers become outraged, they should simply not inform their customers of the coming changes and move forward with them anyway?

Then he goes on to say that they should be allowed to move to usage billing because it won't impact their customers, but it will encourage infrastructure improvements? Well, who is going to pay for those improvements if not the move to usage based billing which will significantly raise rates -- or cause rates to skyrocket a year or so from now as the average home users usage increases?

But wait, there is more. He then goes on to say that government regulation is needed?!? Although to be fair, it somewhat sounded like he meant for every industry but his, but I wasn't clear on that point.

I'm not sure this guy really has any coherent opinion of his own, much less one that is worthy of debate. CEO or not, he sounds like a crackpot.
