FCC boss backs usage-based pricing for cable Internet access

[koalabear]

The head of the Federal Communications Commission said he supports cable companies' charging for Internet based on how much a subscriber uses the service, and also welcomed a cable industry initiative to share Wi-Fi hotspots around the country.

Most Internet service providers charge a flat fee and price their packages based on the speed of the service. Cable providers have been considering charging based on usage, similar to the way utilities charge for electricity.

I'd just as soon the FCC stay out of the price charged by Internet providers.
