Re: Net Neutrality and Your Internet Bill

So if I came along and offered an unlimited water service, would that be better?
Or an unlimited electricity solution?

Why should they be different?  Why shouldn’t they?  What is wrong with more for
less?  I am afraid I don’t get your question.

Metered services seem fair but they are also limiting in a sense, and those who
operate them are highly invested in making sure no one can bypass them.

I don't follow.  I already pay metered service for my natural gas, electricity,
water, gasoline, and (in a sense) groceries.  "Everyone is doing it" for those
goods and services.  I don't see why my cell phone and internet bills should be
so very different.  It's a more honest and more easily audited business
transaction than "unlimited"
service that gets mysteriously cut off or throttled when you hit the unpublished
limits.
