There was an interesting read over at Slashdot.org today. In a story last night from the Associated Press, it looks like Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) may be testing out a web metering service for its internet access.
The company is testing a service with new Time Warner Cable Internet subscribers in Beaumont, Texas where customers will have a monthly allowance for the amount of data with a $1.00 charge per gigabyte. The company had already warned back in January that it was going to test rates and test some metered and tiered internet access services, so this isn't likely to be a bomb dropping into the school yard.
Slower services of 768 kbps with a 5-gigabyte monthly allowance are going to run $29.95, while their fastest and larger service with fast downloads at up to 15 megabits per second and a 40-gigabyte cap will run $54.90 per month.
