Internet To Be Charged By Byte

[Archem]

Fingers crossed, right?

So is it going to be (assuming this crap gets passed) that every byte you use is billed, or will it be more like you have a maximum bandwidth you can use and if you go over that you get charged extra?

[Archem]

Either way blows.

But you must already be aware...

[HobomasterXXX]

Well yeah, but we don't get charged extra, our download speed just goes down a ton

It looks like the latter.

Man, why hasn't this been in the news at all? I hadn't even HEARD of this until I came on here!

And to add to Zerlina and Gem, you won't be seeing me either. Not that I'm here that much, but still.

So, I got accosted for donations via email.
Anybody hear how that turned out?

[HobomasterXXX]

I heard the government didn't pass it, but that's only by word of mouth. I'll let someone smart post about it, I might be wrong.

You just have to be careful not to byte off more than you can chew.
