Ironically this idea did not come from the provider itself it is a “spin off” of a move by the government to place a tax on Internet usage...the “method” of establishing a usage record was developed so that local government can implement a new tax for use on the net , Orange county attempted to enact a 10 cent an hour tax 2 years ago but had problems determining when users where on line ...but the bandwidth meter will make it easy for them to tax us now !

So Typical...remember back in the day when water came out of the tap and wasnt a dollar a bottle? Or when we could turn on the tv, maybe not have 100 channels ..but the air waves were free we just paid for power. Remember when healthly food didnt cost more than packaged foods.Better yet ..remember when fuel was under $1.00 a gal? Pretty soon we will be charged for the air we breathe.
Hmmmmmmm, gotta love being raped by corperate America.....NOT

I do remember when the aol was first starting didn't they have a set service fee for so many hours and then if you went over you were charge for overtime? I sort of remember because it would kick you off if you were idle and didn't the bill show how many hours you were on the internet? I just faintly remember something like that.

Cont. Is it just me or do I smell the ultra liberals trying to add Internet to the pile of things they would like to see "socialized?"

Why is it the liberals are trying so hard to make American resemble Europe, meanwhile Europe is trying to branch out and look more like America? Canada now shook off liberalism, France is swinging away with its new leader, Austraila is cementing a conservative tone....

We are a FREE country, Please someone tell me whats free about it? There are laws for everything from spitting on the sidewalk to farting in public.. A man cant fly a flag on his own private property if he wants, we are taxed to death even if we do not use a certain service,

Doesn't surprise me one bit that Time-Warner,
the company that continues to bring us the over-bloated, ad-spewing, corporate circle-jerk of an internet service...AOL would come up
with something like this.

After all, they have to make up for all
of the free service they are forced to give
away when a customer tries to leave them
after a few years of dealing with the garbage.
And believe me, A LOT of people have left them!

My parents were offered FREE AOL after
trying to leave after 6 years. I guess it's the
only way for them to keep injecting scumware
into the customer's machines. I still can't
believe they use the BLEEP for email evident
by me having to remove some sort of viruses or trojans just about every other week on their machine.

Now they want to find a way to tax based on usage??!!?? Time Warner, stick with what your good at...selling overpriced CDs of forgotten
music on TV!

I left AOL over a decade ago when they tried to tell me that I MUST leave my cookies on. I told them no, and that I would replace them, and their attitude was nobody provided the service they did... LOL I dropped them and went to a local dial-up that was actually faster and for a better price!
