Can you give some examples of where this has worked? (excluding models which require the consumer to buy other stuff with the money they saved)

  I'm unaware of any ISP offering priority transport in any form, including the consumer subsidy model I've described above. But if regulations were put in place, it would be illegal even to experiment with business models such as this.

    What about in other industries?

      To generalize this to other industries, the subsidy model I detailed can be described simply as offering reduced service quality at a reduced cost. This is a universal strategy of marketing.
