| Silly Metered broadband is a horrible idea due to the chilling effect it would have on innovation on the internet. Do you think that Youtube would have caught on, had we had metered internet? (On my metered data plan on Verizon, a single Youtube video costs around $100 to download!) Do you think that Steam or other digital delivery systems would exist, when it would cost thousands of dollars to download a huge chunk of data?
It would stop us from moving into the 21st Century. Cold.
And if you don't believe me on the costs, look at how much it would cost to download a single GB on every metered plan out there. And if it was cheaper, the broadband companies won't make any money on it.
Overall, metered internet is one of the worst ideas ever. |
