Re: I don't get it!

I disagree. They pay for their consumption, so if I connect to say YouTube and watch a ton of videos that means Google has to pay their providers for the bandwidth I consumed.

Which is part of the reason charge by the byte is a pure rip-off for consumers. They want to follow the Cell phone model--- make people pay for both MAKING the call and RECEIVING the call---- IE pay twice. Hell if Net Neutrality fails that could become paying THREE, FOUR, or even more times.
