Fines...big big big BIG fines

Work on 'somehow' auditing (such as dummy accounts actually owned by auditors) but then make the fine 10000X the amount of the over-bill. So if you screw up and over charge a sub by $10...it's a $100K fine, 10% to the customer if the customer's account could be audited, 90% to the regulator to pay for the audits.

There comes a point where ISPs will police themselves or give up on the greed of overages in the first place.

Won't happen - the ISPs OWN enough people in the FCC/Congress so they will get away with incorrect billing. I'm only surprised they don't tack on an extra 100MB here and there anyway.

Should do EXACTLY that with just about every big company in existence including our stupid government!!

Except the government would just raise taxes to pay the fines. For the government, the employees and politicians should go to prison if they violate the law...no wrist slaps or simple reimbursements for crap like those parties and junkets on the taxpayer dime.
