This is clearly anti-competive monopolist practices. I can't believe you would defending it.
If you really want UBB then sure, lets go there. Lets pay for each and every bit that you download at some standardized rate. So Grandma and Grandpa emailing their kids will pay $5 a month and Mr. Netflix pays $40 a month. Treat bits like utilities treat kWh. That's real UBB not this crap that these companies are ramming down our throats.

I like this "pay for what you use" model.
