If most people wouldn't notice, then how would they make any money from the metered billing? They want metered billing to impact the most people. That's the point of it all.

Who ever said that the object of metered billing was to make money from overages?

Metered billing is to protect the video revenue. If you discourage people from Hulu an BitTorrent they will have no choice but to eat the fruit from the walled garden.

I would say one of the points is to make money. They probably loose money on customers who download outrageous amounts
