Have a close look at what's happening in Australia (I'm sure Geoff must have talked about this at the NOG confrence.) Charging for data over and above the stated data caps only slows down service uptake in the residential market place. Even Telstra BigPond have finally conceded this. I suspect Telecom are planning on following what Telstra and the Aussie ISPs have done (why else would they be installing an ERX platform?)

Guess the 20c/MB overrides any moral obligations though.
They'd get more money if the excess charge / MB was lower.
At = 5 cents / MB, I wouldn't worry so much about going over and would do it more than once a year.
An extra GB would be $50 instead of $200....and I could make a decision as toi whether or not I *really* want that ISO image of the latest *nix badly enough.
At $200 / GB, I never do it.
