Not to be snarky, but it sounds like capitalism.
If I sign up for a service and the terms are 50 Bucks unlimited usage and then the company decides to change it to 50 bucks but you only get x number of data its not Capitalism its fraud.
Try and get out of a contract early with one of these companies and they will make you pay to do so BUT they reserve the right to change the terms of the deal any time they want. They are crooks plain and simple. AND they've been caught many times censoring data flow (slowing down certain websites/services) and they try to hide such and then claim there is no law the prohibits them from doing so.
Sounds like an instant cure for many people’s internet addiction.
Maybe that is. But Comcast being the only carrier allowed on the cable is not. It is a monopoly by region, and oligopoly for the country split between 3 providers. I get that some investors paid to lay the cables, but at what point do we consider that debt and interest paid? Do any of the original investors remain? We broke up Ma Bell, it may be time to “break up” the cable monopoly, which doesn’t mean shut them down but simply means to allow all comers the right to deliver services over the cable. That is capitalism and competition.
Millenials are so bandwidth addicted, the end result of this will be a big, massive public internet infrastructure that we’ll all pay for, but which will be “free” to the end user.
