Actually, AT&T did (when I last looked at at least one
of their prepaid plans a year or so ago for a friend).
Deposit $100, get a $20 "bonus".  Or something like that.

Personally, I do not know how the Time Warner trial
will work out (for them, for the consumer, or for 
other providers), but I do give them credit for
experimenting with a different model.
