FCC's Internet Pay-as-you-go Plan Raises Questions
2010-12-08
From the NSTAAFL (no such thing as a free lunch) department
A provision that would allow companies to bill customers for how much they surf the Web is drawing special scrutiny. Analysts say pay-as-you-go Internet access could put the brakes on the burgeoning online video industry, handing a victory to cable and satellite TV providers.
This is like arguing that making car drivers buy their gas by the gallon unfairly benefits...someone!
Public interest groups say that trend will lead to a widening gap in Internet use in which the wealthiest would have the greatest access as opposed to supplying everyone with unlimited resources for a small flat rate. And it could place limits on how much consumers use Web video, which eats up an enormous amount of bandwidth
, which is rising exponentially.
