Cerf's call for simple pricing: Net Neutrality all over again

Rather than a volume cap, I suggest the introduction of transmission rate caps, which would allow users to purchase access to the Internet at a given minimum data rate and be free to transfer data at at least up to that rate in any way they wish.

ISP's are already doing this. Look at DSL providers. Sheesh, I thought Google employees were supposed to be smart. Leave it up to Google to try to reinvent the wheel. The carriers won't go for this as there will be too many problems. Someone says they can't get their 6Mbps so the ISP has to send a technician out to check the line to make sure it can and does give up the 6Mbps.

I have a better idea, how about I continue to pay my flat fee per month to use my unlimited amount of data for my internet connection that isn't capped.
