Comment on Charter Follows Comcast With Broadband Usage Caps by goldflowpoints

Phillip, my position is that it sounds reasonable for the cable companies to charge more or less based on speed and quantity of data so long as they do not discriminate based on the content of the data. For example, when I consume more electricity or gas, I expect to pay more for it. Why should it be different for the internet? Should not a heavy gamer or movie downloader, who puts a heavy load on the network that potentially impacts the experience for the majority of lighter users, pay more for such heavy use? I assume Stop the Cap does not agree with this, and I wanted to know if you could help me understand why. Thanks.
