said by TKJunkMail :... charge by the byte after a certain monthly cap is exceeded, just like Telus & Shaw does for their broadband connections as mentioned in this other BBR story: » Telus 6Mbps Tier This approach doesn't give an incentive for an ISP to be neutral though. Consider this example:
Say you have Comcast HSI which has its own digital phone service. This service competes directly with every other VoIP provider out there. Even if Comcast was charging by the byte, they can still block or degrade the connections to other VoIP providers as a means of favoring their own phone service. -- Only SHATNER is Kirk. |
