Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling
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."
As someone who has run large ISP/hosting networks, this is entirely possible to do. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Strange. I thought that there were many other people who, despite being poor, had a rental on a flat and were not, therefore, homeless. And you have to ask how you got to be broke. Someone took your money. So hardly a way to refute the parent post, is it.
And this is one very simple way the rich can steal from the poor legally:
1: Poor person cannot afford a house in direct funds and needs a loan
2: Rich person can afford a house and needs no loan
3: Poor person pays more for their home than the rich person, even though they have the same home
4: The extra money is a ROI from the rich person's savings.
Rich person gets richer from the poor person.
Australia is also inhospitable in other ways. Most of the indigenous creatures are deadly to humans.
Just another reason for civilized people to avoid Botany Bay penal colony.

So you're in favor of mandated pension plans, eh?
