Proposal: Speed AND consumption pricing models.A while ago, I thought of a speed/consumption based model. I dont think per-gig is the answer, but there may be overages.
This is just an example
Speed: 3mb - $10 10mb - $20 25mb - $35 100mb - $70
Usage: 10gig - $10 100 gig - $20 500 gig - $35 Unlimited - $50
That way, people that need a lot of bandwidth, but may not need the speed (big file transfers, work related) can buy a large useage, but maybe a lower speed. If someone needs a lot of speed, but not necessarily a lot of usage (occasional video online, gaming), it can support them. Then, people who want a super fast connection with as much as they can download will have an option, but it will be more expensive than the rest. "Grandmas" can get a lower internet, and low usage, for the "reading the emails once a week" as a reasonable cost.
Again, these are just ballpark figures more than anything. Obviously over time, speed and consumption will increase, but a foundation where people actually have a CHOICE would be nice.
Thoughts? |
