Charges for service

I have heard rumors that Time Warner is considering charging internet users by the gigabyte used. If this test proves satisfactory I am sure we will see other high speed internet providers jumping on the band wagon. Speaking from the standpoint of a rural user with no high speed access we would welcome the opportunity to pay by the gigabyte. I can see where this would be an issue for large corporate users but would hope that the Time Warner marketing people have figured out that these charges could be on a sliding scale. In other words, the greater the use, the less the charge per gigabyte.
