The metering must be content neutral, with respect to content and protocols used.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There will develop hybrid plans, I would think, which would be metered with respect to peak hours, and unmetered for off peak hours, very much like cell phone plans are now.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">2307</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 04 Oct 2008 17:12:05 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
