Metering Internet Use
Add the Internet to the list of metered services you receive says The Wall Street Journal.
Some service providers are contemplating stepping back in time to the days of AOL when you paid for the time you used on the Internet, instead of paying a flat fee constant for broadband access.
The Journal says the switch is being floated due to the growing amount of time people are spending online watching or streaming videos.

If you ask me, doing something like that would be a downgrade and would probably make more than a few of their current customers angry. As it is more than a few services have a plan setup where you have to pay for a certain amount of usage. For example, the service I use limits me to 200mb per day. Limits like that hinder what you can do online. Many people don’t realize how much internet they actually use until they get on one of these plans and find out that they can’t watch an online movie or use one of those twitter applications because it takes them past their MB allowance.
