If Sidgemore's experience matches others in the ISP business I suspect he is considering/planning such service plans because several of his important customers are asking for it.

Well, we'll see. The problem is suits who don't understand that billing by the byte, rather than by the router port, usually has higher costs than it does revenue enhancement. If I assert that I'm trying to reduce customer's billings, then, as a CEO of a publicly held company, I'd better have something up my sleeve that will actually enhance revenue, or I'll be out of a job, real quick.
