The End of Unlimited Internet- it has begun

My solution. Stop offering the internet to cell phones. If I had my way. I'd ban it outright.

what is that a solution for?

otoh I know people who just need it to check their email a coupla times a week and book the odd holiday. should they be subsidising the bandwidth for users like me who saturate their ADSL connections with offsite backups 18h a day?

It works for the government, why not everyone else? 

I pay way more in property taxes and registration fees on my vehicles than most people in my area, money that primarily goes to fund the highway system, yet I occupy no more actual road space or travel as many miles as most other people................

road funding is structured a bit like telephone service here in the UK - a flat charge for access (annual car tax/monthly line rental), plus a usage charge (fuel duty/call charges), so people who drive alot of miles/make alot of calls pay more for the service than those who dont.
