As A Continuing Resource
David Gloier sent me a link toStop the Cap! Fight Back Against Usage Caps for Cable, DSL, and Fiber Optic Broadband. "Phil" is all over this issue, covering broadband caps in detail wherever they've been proposed or implemented. So if you want to monitor this issue, this website appears to be a comprehensive resource for doing so, because it combines news reporting with excellent analysis.
Oh, and here's something I saw that was quite funny:
Statement From Time Warner Cable’s Chief Operations Officer on Tiered Broadband Trials
[skipping the boring parts, because here's the good stuff]
When you go to lunch with a friend, do you split the bill in half if he gets the steak and you have a salad?
Okay, so let me try to understand this. Is he talking about all those television channels I pay for that I don't ever watch because they won't let their customers have à la carte pricing? Oh, wait, that must be a different kind of steak and salad.
Food is like data. Worst analogy ever.
I bet you that within a month, the Austin City Council is talking about revoking Time Warner's "monopoly franchise" for breach of contract.
