We've done this for years. Brandon Checkalets built the software that we use. We bill on usage. Lowish base price, but relatively high overage fees. We bill out about $1k per month in overages. Our average customer does about 4 gigs per month. We have lost a few customers due to this. But they are net negative customers so I don't mind. After all, there are two main goals in business. One, turn a profit, two, make sure your competition doesn't. Loosing someone that's pulling 20+ gigs per month certainly isn't helping my competition's services at all! We just compare the billing mechanism to things people are already paying as they go. Stuff like gas, food, electricity, cell phone minutes, clothes, water, tires, um, everything else in life! If they are really sharp I'll explain how the all you can eat all of the time only works if there is a monopoly with artificially high prices for everyone else. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Rogers" <ecrog...@precisionds.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 4:56 AM Subject: [WISPA] Metered Billing > We are on the verge of changing to a metered or tiered billing structure > with Caps that once they exceed the cap; it doesn't shut off, but they > get charged the overage.
