Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling

Posted by timothy on from the testing-what-the-market-will-bear dept.

Mirell writes "Time Warner Cable has recently changed their Terms of Service, so that they are allowed to charge you at their discretion via consumption-based billing. They were shot down a few months ago after raising the wrath of many subscribers and several politicians. Now they're trying again, but since they make exclusions for their own voice and video not to count against the cap, this could draw the attention of the FCC."

    Nobody in the U.S. cares about Australia's situation with bandwidth. No one. Not me, not the guy down the street, not some IT guy in Silicon Valley. You're comparing oranges to apples. Australia is an island nation, and when compared to the U.S., very few English websites are hosted there.
