Morrisville, NC | Irrelevant It makes no difference if it's 'Necessary' or not. If the company selling the product feels the need to price it a certain way then that is entirely their business. If their new billing schema is incompatible with what we, as individuals, feel the product is worth then we are perfectly free to NOT BUY IT. |

| You make the common mistake of assuming people impacting by this pricing model would actually have a choice of carriers and local competition.
"Go elsewhere" isn't applicable if you have one ISP. Or two that are collectively colluding to impose a new pricing model that offers a consumer less value. |

The reason most people only have One ISP is because of past government interference. It's the same as health care. Government interference and regulation causes a problem, and the only solution offered is a further power grab by the same government that caused the problem in the first place. Eventually yet another '5 year plan' will not be enough to prop up the farce. |

It is not. |
