우리나라도 '인터넷 종량제'와 관련해서 말들이 많은데 미국 예외는 아닌 듯 합니다.
선두 ISP중 하나인 Comcast가 250GB 기준으로 그 이상되는 트래픽에는 추가 요금을 부가하는 정책을 고려중인 것으로 밝혀졌습니다.

현실이 된다면 흠좀무...군요.

Comcast mulling metered access, 250GB monthly bandwidth caps

By these standards, it appears that Comcast may be ready to experiment with a little honesty, too. Broadband Reports is quoting an internal Comcast source that suggests the company is considering a bandwidth cap of 250GB per month, with users that go over the cap being charged $15 for every 10GB in excess. Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas confirmed this report, saying, "Comcast is currently evaluating this service and pricing model to ensure we deliver a great online experience to our customers." For now, however, he emphasized that no final decisions have been made.
