[David Farber <dave () farber net>]

Time to look at why they like tiered approaches. Does wreck internet  
video deliveries economics. Sounds like maybe carriers should be  
banned from media delivery. djf

It’s Showtime for Tiered Broadband

The two-month grace period is ending for Time Warner Cable customers  
in Beaumont, Texas, who are part of the ISPs tiered broadband trials.  
A spokesman for Time Warner Cable declined to comment but confirmed  
that residents would soon see bills reflecting the $1 per gigabyte  
overage charge for those who have consumed more than the 5 GB allowed  
under the $29.95 plan all the way up to the 40 GB allowed under the  
$54.90 plan. Now they’ll have to pay them.
