I think there may be a net-netrality case against some of our local ISPs. Some are already charging users differently depending on the type, source, and destination of data they transmit -- rather than charging users solely based on the /amount/ of data they transmit. Orange, for example, offers mobile Internet users access to Facebook for free. Thus, Orange's Internet is a tiered Internet; Facebook is accessible to all users (Bronze Plan) while the Uganda LUG is accessible only to users with access to the entire Internet (Gold Plan). ----- Original message ----- > On 1 October 2011 20:56, Simon Vass <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hari, > > > > 1) Suggest you lobby your ISP to remove data caps? > > Unfortunately they have to keep their shareholders happy first, before > they think of me :-) > Plus I am sure they have heard that suggestion countless times already. > > > 2) What was your calculation on that?
