Mobile Carriers Dream of Charging per Page

Of course the Mobile Carriers dream of charging per page, or for a tiered service or whatever. Just as I dream of getting a salary of one billion dollars a year!

But I don't get a billion dollars a year. Why not? Perhaps because other people exist who can do my job, and have the willingness to do it for less than a billion a year?

As long as competition exists, the telecomms won't get tiered service. But you can bet that the second some company survives the transition to tiered service as described, competition is non-existant, either due to collusion, or legislation.

This is one of the best instruments for monopoly I have ever seen.
