Comment on An opposing viewpoint on net neutrality

Net neutrality? Has to happen.

Unlimited bandwidth? Can't happen.

No business is sustainable without a usage cap. The all-you-can-eat buffet will get a few pigs at the trough but there's still a cap: night falls and the restaurant is closed.

What I seek is value in the equation, whereby I can choose how much bandwidth I can reasonably eat, pay for it, and not be bankrupted if I go over. The chart of bandwidth cost should not look like a hockey-stick stock price.

My wireless provider does this with text messages. I hate them for it. And I always will.
