This would be no different than when dial-up ISP’s were charging via time on-line or per data usage. What happened then? At least one company offered “all you can eat” and they did very well while the others didn’t. If the big wireless companies do this it will just help the “budget” wireless services that already offer a buffet type of service.

That really seems like they’re shooting themselves in the foot.

This cannot happen, people will go back to getting their internet content the old-fashioned way…from a laptop or desktop at least until net neutrality rules take affect.

What a nightmare for the customer and the customer service department that would have to handle all those millions of calls regarding disputed charges. A real can of worms if there ever was one ;)
