poltr1I was just reading this story about how Time Warner is planning to try a pricing model based on consumption, rather than a flat fee. The test market is Beaumont, TX.
I remember Robert Metcalfe, in several of his articles he wrote for InfoWorld, advocated a pay-as-you-go Internet.
Can this be done? Do we finally have the technology to do this? And would you support such a billing paradigm (i.e. vs. free sites or flat-fee sites)?
