That assumes people have a choice for their ISP.
If I want high speed internet I have two choices. Both of them are huge national companies.
If they decide to go the throttle route, where do I go?
>Secondly, why are they throttling this service? Because they can't charge effectively for it.
That's an interesting take considering how they offered a product at a certain bandwidth and I agreed to pay for that bandwidth. If I use it to capacity, the services I receive from third parties are somehow 'exploiting' the model? I don't think so.
If the post office offers to ship anything under 10lbs for a flat rate, is a company taking advantage if they offer, say, a 10 lbs cheese of the month package using that USPS service?
