| Bring it on! Time Warner's initial proposal for metered billing was incredibly fair, but no one bothered to listen to the details.
Just as we've seen with the cellphone industry, as competition matured, buckets have grown as per-minute rates have dropped. The same has happened for broadband. My $60 256K DSL circuit is now $10 for 1M in less than 10 years' time, and that replaced $60 of 28.8K dialup access. Cable internet has followed a similar price:performance track.
Metered billing will only encourage someone else to offer "unlimited" at a more attractive rate. |
