I wrote about this on my http://www.wirelesscowboys.com/ blog -

There are some other articles about Usage Based Billing (UBB) there as
well. Read it and see if that helps.

They WISP that I work with actually implements no bandiwdth caps and
uses it as a marketing strategy against the local cable company. The
cable company uses the model of guaranteeing speeds, but charging $x
for y GB over some arbitrary cap. They also provide a package geared
for video that has no bandwidth caps, but also does not guarantee any
speed.
Also, given AT&T's, the other local competitor, decision to implement
caps, this WISP is the _only_ local provider that does have any sort
of caps.
Holler off-list if you would like more specifics.
