Re: Metered billing First off, sorry for all of the grammatical errors in my post, I'm glad you actually got the point.
I'm glad that TW balked at this trial because litigation would have taken years. In that time other carriers may have implemented the same insulting caps w/overage charges.
If that had happened, then unwinding this mess would have been a much bigger challenge.
This is a golden opportunity for a politician to make a name for him/herself by taking this issue and running with it. The establishment of a regulatory oversight body to approve the pricing based on the verification of the carriers claims would greatly help the consumer. A cap could then be defined as part of the price to be approved or denied. This is currently being done with electric and natural gas. The first step would be to define broadband as a utility! |
