This is coming precisely because of the growth of high volume video and audio services, while some users are only using it for light-duty stuff like email.
I expect it will be like cellphone plans, with graduated limits and correspondingly graduated prices. Much like many ISPs already do with upload/download speeds. As US consumers are used to unlimited, I also expect most providers will keep an "unlimited" option -- you'll just pay more for it. And as for competition, in a _lot_ of the US there is no competition for broadband. I am unusually lucky in the DC metro area to have a choice of at least 3 providers. In many areas there is only one provider, regulated by a public board. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85190 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
