Merchantville, NJ | Fear the backlash... Personally speaking, if ISP's decide to go to metered billing, I will discontinue service! The current 250 GB cap that comcast has implemented is not a problem IMO. However, if they decided to bill per byte, I will have a problem.
Thoughts? |

Pleasant Hill, MO | You never know, if the wireless did not and the wired did who would get more costumers? Just like FiOS is using no cap/meter to its advantage WISPs may too, I know mine does. |

With the driver being resource constraints, Wireless provider have more hurdles to overcome than wireline carriers. (and it's not just a matter of frequency space, you have to get bandwidth out to the radios driving the towers as well) |

Pleasant Hill, MO | I know. But still if they can afford it why not get an advantage? I use wireless BTW and it has no meter. |
