There was a comment left by "conan77"[I am not "conan77" & I have not asked for any permission to repost it here, but I hope "conan77" will be cool with it as the comment was really nice and puts across the real issue rather well.] "Let's say you have a bad Oreo habit. Like a box a day. With such Oreo consumption, you have negotiated a deal wherein you get a full month's supply for $100. 30 boxes or so for $100. Now a few days before the month is up, you run out of Oreos. You see, you have visitors , and they like Oreos too. You would thing you could just to to 7-Eleven and buy a box for $5. But you can only buy Oreos from your current supplier, as the local municipal government has legally mandated that there are only two OSPs (Oreo Service Providers) allowed to sell Oreos in your city. You have to pick one (which you have) and you can't switch mid-month without paying for the next month you'll never receive. So you get the extra box from your OSP, and pay the overage fee of $25 a box. Yeah, the internet is exactly like Oreos." source: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/09/internet-data-is-like-oreos-isp-claims-while-defending-data-caps/?comments=1&post=31950983#comment-31950983 http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/09/intern...
