i rember this in the early 90's. which is why i did not have internet back then either. my first exposure was in the mid 90's when the local library started offering free internet access. then was on dial up till a few years ago. i have hung onto my v.92 modems just in case i need to go back to dial up due to rising costs. i would think that if they go to a per byte pricing scheme that this would not apply to dial up because of the dismal bandwidths involved in dial up. they have been pushing for per byte pricing becuase of prodding from behind the scenes by the RIAA, MPAA, BSA and similar organizations that want to curb p2p. which really won't help them. people will just start going old school and having hard drive swapping parties similar to the old tape swapping parties of the 80's. who knows. there is some much greed and people on power trips now a days that i beleive we are destined to repeat the history of other great societies.
