   Time Warner Cable Expands Internet Usage Pricing - BusinessWeek

   You know what… I’m A.O.K. with consumption billing if it’s damn near free when I don’t use anything. At least that way the scale is fair.

   Of course Time Warner is trying to make money not be fair. So it won’t work that way.
   
   What they’ll do is leave rates basically the same as they are now, but put a limit on them. Go over the limit, and you pay a metered usage charge. But… if you…  go waaaay under, you still pay the same thing you were paying before.
   
   It’s mobile-phone style billing, but everyone gets the most expensive plan and the only one that really wins is Time Warner. Fuck that.

   This will surely be the end of the Internet as we know it.
