I would imagine charging by usage is one way of regaining some of the TV/Movie market they will be losing over the next couple of years. No one is going to spend money on pay-per-views with Comcast Cable they will simple start downloading them from the Net. And since they aren't as dumb as we think they figure well take a cut. HD Movie = a gig or two and now all my bandwidth is gone.
