said by fAcEtIOUs:To economists, it simply doesn’t make sense to make chatterboxes pay that penalty. After all, most businesses tend to give discounts to customers who buy more.
That is not true. The record is very mixed in that regard. Sure you get discounts when buying cereal; dog food; and other items at Sam's club and the like. But you pay more when you use more electricity; natural gas; water; and other goods considered to have limited supply. I put bandwidth in that category - it is a resource limited by the infrastructure and the increasing costs of trying to supply an unlimited amount.
actually the more electricity I use the LOWER the kilowatt per hour they charge. At last in my area that's how it works.
