I think you left out the utility that is most analogous to networking, though.
Most every residential telephone service offers at least one flavor of flat
rate plan. The plan I have covers most of my state. Long distance companies
are starting to offer flat-rate plans as well. So it isn't clear that the
networking world is really an anomaly among its peers.
