 |  Netflix criticizes new Internet billing by bits Netflix said Friday that moves by Internet service providers to charge users by the amount of data they use could end up costing consumers more. In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, Netflix General Counsel David Hyman, wrote that new data tiers by ISPs such as AT&T, Comcast and Verizon don’t reflect how much it costs to actually increase bandwidth on networks. The Internet service providers argue they have to switch from flat-rate monthly data fees to tiered, or usage-based pricing, models to pay for network upgrades and prevent consumers from congestion that would lead to sluggish Internet use. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...prss=post-tech |
