I am sure, too, but it would cause them more problems than it's worth
trying to legally prove how much we actually 'did' download each month.
Unlike electric, which uses a meter to show our actual usage. ;-)
Sure it does. 8=O
It is very simple to tell your usage, the system records any usage when
you are logged onto the server, just like a meter on your other
utilities i, much like your minutes on yout phone.
Hmm - this could get really nasty!
For example, is it your fault if your carrier starts to give some
disreputable web sites a little incentive to include huge images on their
web pages to boost your download (both in megabytes and in megabytes per
some quantity, be it time or by page fetch)?
Having to pay more because of the increase in bandwidth you use because some
sites are funded by ads (either partially or whole), so you wind up paying
Com$haft in the end?
