Re: Slingbox issues have a solution: pay per bit

The Slingbox issue for wireless providers like Verizon have the same solution that should be implemented to address all bandwidth hog issues, regardless of infrastructure - a pay per bit pricing model. With that model, those who consume the most bandwidth pay the most money. This does 2 things:
It puts the burden of upgrading infrastructure on those causing the need for an upgrade. And it puts a self-limit on those biggest bandwidth hogs - how much are they willing to pay to consume huge amounts of bandwidth. At some point they will cut their usage to match their available funds.
what a load of crap. i paid for the bandwidth and now i expect to get it and use it. maybe verizon should have thought of a pay-as-you-go system, but they didn't now did they. therefore their business model is set up to provide bandwidth so i can get the content i want and not have it regulated by them. this will certainly lead to a class-action if they don't rectify it immediately.

this notion that bandwidth is somehow limited is garbage. it isn't, it's an ethereal and an intangible asset that has replenshment properties that extend into the infinite. if verizon has more users that want to use more of their high bandwidth streams and they don't have enough of it to dole out then who's fault is it when their users are using it for the purpose they bought it for and verizon can't supply the pipe for them to do it in? it's verizons fault obviously and the solution is quite simple. add more pipe. be the provider that people are paying to be.
