Belvedere Tiburon, CA | It all depends.... It all depends on the "bottleneck" facilities and their applicability to service and vulnerability to competition.
In some areas (rural, with only wireless access) almost everything is "shared" and the bottleneck is near-universal. In such a case, metered billing is much more likely than somewhere that has great quantities of FTTH or FTTC available.
It's not unlike parking lots for supermarkets. They are universally thought of as free and un-metered, but access policies change when you get to the really pricey real estate areas. (Consider the Safeway at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, for example.)
