Time Warner's pay-per-surf plan

Internet

If you surf the Internet all day long, Time Warner may be asking you to pay accordingly. The cable company says it's going to test out consumption-based billing with customers in Beaumont, Texas. This could be pretty controversial, since Internet subscribers have come to expect a fixed monthly charge. The company says the billing system will probably only impact heavy Web users. Cable operators like Verizon and AT&T will be watching to see how Time Warner's little experiment works out.
