said by Karl Bode: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.
