I remember paying per minute on dialup. Then I paid per MB on ISDN. I was so happy to get unlimited on roadrunner for $30 back in 95'. Now I pay $60 for the same speeds (15/2) and websites are so choked with a crap load of pictures, applets, flash, etc. that page loading reminds me of ISDN.
US ISP's are either going to implement a tiered per MB plan or start charging for "heavy traffic" content. They have to pay for that utilization, which means that we will too.
