It's used in the sales world all the time (commissions).
The whole flap is partly perception, and we won't know the real impact until we see how they actually implement it. Will it be like, say, standard long distance phone service where you essentially start from zero and pay only for what you use each month? Or will it be like most cell phone plans where you pay a flat monthly rate as long as you use less than X amount of bandwidth, and then pay a premium if you go over that? Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
For me, I'm still uneasy about the possibility of having to be mindful of usage. If the pricing is set such that I actually have to monitor my use, that would be a reason for me to look elsewhere for service. I accept it with cell service because I simply don't use cell service the way I use the internet.
