http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/The-Metered-Billing-Fight-Is-About- To-Get-Ugly-103043 Interesting story on how the industry wants to kill flat rate billing for the Internet. I couldn't have said it better: However well intentioned, regulation limiting pricing models is never going to get past incumbent lobbyists and a well-lobbied Congress. If government is going to get involved, they're better served by taking actions that foster competition. As we've seen with Cablevision and Verizon's reluctance to impose caps or meters, and Time Warner's reluctance to trial meters in FiOS markets, competition is kind of like DEET for dumb, self-serving telecom ideas. The threat of customer defection will keep carriers on their best behavior. I like how there was a Comcast ad on the same page as the op-ed. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
