The problem here is that other providers are silent. Contrast this to Canada. These providers are silent because they are looking at Time Warner as a test case, to attempt to do the same thing. TW is trying to set a precedent, and the others are looking on and if it works out they are going to do the same. So unless consumers raise hell with this test case now, its going to be more difficult to switch/complain when it becomes more widespread.
There is also a fear of a trickle down effect to other providers that get their connections from US base networks. Will there be a change in their pricing structure which will force them to adopt similar pricing strategies? Asia and Europe will probably never have to face this, their populations simply won't accept it. But in this western hemisphere it's definitely not something that we as consumers, net users and techies would want at all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:261352 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
