I could see AT&T wanting to do it. I have heard that with the great success of the iPhone, AT&T is having a hard time upgrading their system to keep up with the bandwidth demand.

If these companies do that, there will always be someone else out there that won't restrict data.


I think that the energy consumption idea doesn't really work. Those guys have to produce a product the instant that you require that product. With internet, these guys don't have to produce anything, the series of tubes are already there. All they have to do it expand apon if and when it is needed.
Internet is the same idea like TV service or phone service. The foundation is already there, the companies only provide the doors. If you charge for usage on internet, and use the energy consumption idea, then the same thing needs to be reapplied to land lines and TV service.


If you want to use the same idea for energy, it would be like the power companies have the power lines up, but instead of having to produce a product, they just open a release valve that is plugged into the earth that restricts the amount of energy that is released into the power lines instead of actually producing it.

TV, Internet, Phone, there is no production of a product. You pay your bill so that they can maintain their infrastructure and to expand apon it in areas that are needed. Websites, and TV shows are the product, of which they do not produce.
For energy, you have to pay so that they can not only expand, and maintain a infrastructure, but so that they can also provide you a product.
