Re: thinking back to dialup
Yes, but how will this apply to DSL? Will a user be billed as being "connected" if they are logged in with PPPoE even if they are not actively using the connection? What happens if they forget to logout of PPPoE? At least with a dial-up connection you'd eventually figure out that the phone was tied up when you got that God awful screeching noise in your ear when you picked up the phone. With PPPoE clients, it'll be much easier to "forget" that you're "connected." |

| It would seem to me that Be would charge by data usage in this model rather than time spent online, with the stipulation that after 3 months you have to "recharge" regardless. Unless I missed something.
Still too early to tell how this will pan out, but the PAYG DSL idea has good potential.
