Isn't that all we're talking about?  That they are changing the price of the
service?  By your understanding, how would this be a service change?

My understanding is that they want to charge you for how much of the service
you use, instead of just charging you a flat rate.

If this pricing structure actually works, people could see the base cost of
internet access actually decline.  [Still, though, I like the flat rates
being low....]
