AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage

An anonymous reader writes "On the heels of Comcast's decision to implement a 250-GB monthly cap, and Time Warner Cable's exploration of caps and overage fees, DSL Reports notes that AT&T is launching a metered billing trial of their own in Reno, Nevada. According to a filing with the FCC (PDF), AT&T's existing tiers, which range from 768 kbps to 6 Mbps, would see caps ranging from 20 GB to 150 GB per month. Users who exceed those caps would pay an additional $1 per gigabyte, per month."

Post anonymous already keeps track of who made the post if you are logged in. Try posting and than moderating your post. (You can't.)

However, I think it could be quite dangerous to get rid of all anonymous posting, due to so many people on /. working for big corporations, the .gov etc. And then posting things that may be in breach of NDA's, contracts or whatever. It is better for those people not to have as little association between them and what they post as possible.

Now for the oblig. troll GNAA PENIS ROCKET TO MARS. We're sending Bush, McCain and Obama, whoever comes back gets to be the next President of the USA. If none of them come back, WE ALL WIN! (Except that another shitty person would become president.)

(Not to mention, preview already takes about twice or longer when posting anon, than otherwise.)
