Re: Value-based pricing I think you're radically over-optimistic about how socialistic this administration will drive the country. It isn't going to happen.
Let's test your logic: Why are there tolls on highways? You cannot run out of highway, can you? And that's not even a company charging you those tolls... that government itself. |

| Tollroads have a constraint, physical-space you could cover every square inch of land with a tollroad and you'd still have a physical constraint, with data that doesn't exist. You can copy data infinitely and you never run out of data. The Government doesn't run all toll-roads, many toll-roads are contracted out. I'm not a socialist but I am one who believes that business has gone too far, and it's harming the country. |

Burlington, MA | There is no difference between toll roads and communications lines. You can "cover every square inch of land with" communications cable and "you'd still have a physical constraint" on bandwidth. The constraint does exist, even though you don't want it to, and even though it destroys your argument. |
