Time Warner to test Internet billing based on usage
By
With Internet based Pay TV just beginning to take off this could be a major stumbling block to future expansion if the Cable Internet industry follows suit!
Time Warner Cable Inc. said on Wednesday it is planning a trial to bill high-speed Internet subscribers based on their amount of usage rather than a flat fee, the standard industry practice.
The second largest U.S. cable operator said it will test consumption-based billing with subscribers in Beaumont, Texas later this year as a part of a strategy to help reduce congestion of its network by a minority of consumers who pay the same monthly fee as light users.
