Time Warner testing usage-based billing

I just don't want to have to keep track of such stuff. If someone has to pay, I'd be more inclined to stick the increase to the content providers as the cost increase might encourage the elimination of bandwidth eating pap. Might also discourage someone from putting their catalog of pirated content on the web. Most content sites have banner adds, so there's income being generated by their popularity and a viable revenue stream.

The corporate world is of course free to screw me as they please, but hopefully there will still be a competitor who promises to be more gentle.
