The problem is not giving unlimited capacity.
The problem is guaranteeing the customers promised perception of speed.
Charging per MB or GB transferred does not necessarilly solve the problem.
A Denial Of Service type attack or port scanner type appication, can bring a
network down to its knees, even with only 32 kbps of data transfer.
More and more diverse type applications are being used on the net. What if
someone wants a busy news feed for example?
Sure this can be partially solved by a Acceptable Use Policy. But my point
is its going to get tougher than just tracking the GBs transferred.
It might be a requirement to charge people for exceeding PPS limits.

Can you elaborate Travis.
What do you mean by unlimited?
If a sub downloads say 50 gigs in a month, do you not bother them unless
they are impacting an ap, or do you let them keep on going?

The unlimited model seems to be working for us for almost 10 years now
(with high-speed wireless service). We have some customers that we have
to call and explain how it works to them, but for the most part it runs
great. They get what they pay for, 24x7. :)

HAAA!!!! I was right again!
The all you can eat idea is gonna HAVE to go out the window. If Comcast
can't support the model neither can any of the rest of us.
We now give people 6 gigs per month. No cut offs for going over, but
there is additional billing...
