Imagine this for a moment: companies producing electricity charge for actual usage.

I'm not against metered billing. I'm against them charging depending on what I power with that electricity, as it were. Also, everyone already pays for their internet access. They're charging people who aren't even their customers.
That gives them power equivalent to levying their own internet taxes on every internet user with almost no accountability.
We've already seen what politicians can do with that and these guys would be even less accountable than them.
