Comment Wekcome to South Africa (Score 1) 414

This article seems like normal life from a South African prespective. We have always, until recently, paid for usage. We buy our interent in amounts of Gigs. Yuo are charged from as little as R29 (ZAR) up to R59 (ZAR) PER Gig. Only recently have we had companies starting offering us "uncapped" internet. Furthermore, the amount to "top-up" your internet over your intial montly buy, is normally charged at a premium rate per gig. This is alright for home users, but look at SME's. Sometimes we will use 50 Gig a month. Sometimes we will use 52 Gig a month. The extra 2 Gig's we need to buy for that month, cost us almost double the price of our original amount per Gig.

FCC Approving Pay-As-You-Go Internet Plans 414

An anonymous reader writes "As details emerge about the Federal Communications Commission's controversial proposal for regulating Internet providers, a provision that would allow companies to bill customers for how much they surf the Web is drawing special scrutiny. Analysts say pay-as-you-go Internet access could put the brakes on the burgeoning online video industry, handing a victory to cable and satellite TV providers. Public interest groups say that trend will lead to a widening gap in Internet use in which the wealthiest would have the greatest access."
