Re: I Call Bull$#!+

I think that the point is valid in some industries. I recently got my hair cut - the price was $12 or $15 for long hair. Same service different price for "heavier" users.
Or Walmart that sells shirts that are $2 extra for X sizes...

The practice does exist, that can not be denied. Aught it be used by ISPs? that is the debatable question.

If it is not recorded, it simply does not exist.


--------------edit--------------

My analogy is flawed. They are not talking about charging the end user more (even though it ultimately will cost us more). If it is the hair saloon then it would be charging a flat rate to the customers and charging the hair care product companies to prominently display their product. Does this happen?
