[governance] Cost of access - the meters ticking

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Most people in the world already ARE subject to that.  There are several far more expert commentators on bandwidth as a bulk commodity - when buying large circuits, say 

Comcast and other cable operators have, so far, subsidized this heavily, run into issues maintaining the subsidy and are trying out various things to dig themselves out of that hole.

Not a very interesting issue as far as governance goes.
