Re: Why?

While I don't think you'll see widespead $.xx/MB pricing, I do think you may see more monthly caps like Cox HSI has where you end up paying more to get to the next tier. And rather than the tiers being all about speed, you also see more about upgrading to higher monthly caps.
Yes, I have no doubt there will be caps, tiers, throttled apps, etc. There already is. All manner of slight of hand and fine print. Absolutely.
What TCM proposes is flat billing by the byte, where you use exactly how much bandwidth you use, just like an electric utility. |

monthly byte caps or cost structures to charge over certain amount of bytes/month

| Well then you're changing your position from the last fifty times you've argued in our comment section that users should be billed by the byte.
»Bring on the "charge by byte" model
»Per Byte model will happen if net neutrality laws passed
»Sounds like LR editor advocating per byte bb
»ISP's will switch to byte caps if they can't shape torrents
»The case for usage based billing
There's about sixty more of these from you over the last month.
I keep wondering: do you push this simply because you think it's really a good idea, or for some other reason? |

As for me I have no problem with tiers based on bandwidth consumed instead of speeds. »ISP's will switch to byte caps if they can't shape torrents
caps on traffic(uploads especially for cable companies). And onerous fees for going over the caps. »The case for usage based billing
Nothing in there precludes per byte after cap. Just general usage billing.
