A mi lo que me ha llamado últimamente la atención es el mercado USA en estos temas.si empiezan a cortar las conexiones de internet de todo el que se descarga pelis (y entendiendo que dejaría de pagar la conexión), no sé si a Movistar y demás compañías les saldría rentable su negocio.
Progresivamente, las compañías están abandonando poco a poco las tarifas planas "pago X al mes y descargo lo que quiera". Hay algunas quejas al respecto que me he encontrado últimamente, pero parece que la cantidad descargada o usada, la intención es medirla y que quien más use pague más.
"""Buying broadband service used to be a one-size-fits-all affair, where you paid a fixed price for unlimited bandwidth. But in recent years the big ISPs have begun imposing data-usage caps, ostensibly to deal with a small group of subscribers who consume massive amounts of data yet pay the same as everybody else.
The ISPs may be following in the footsteps of the wireless industry by creating service tiers that offer varying amounts of data per month. Heavy data users would have to buy a more expensive tier to keep up their data-gorging ways. The ISP tracks (“meters”) the customer’s data usage and then charges for each additional gigabyte of data the customer uses beyond the monthly allotment."""
"""Depending on the carrier, usage caps can vary from 150GB to 300GB. On AT&T, residential high-speed Internet customers already have a cap of 150GB, and U-Verse Internet subscribers have a cap of 250GB. Meanwhile, Comcast is experimenting with caps ranging from 300GB to 600GB, depending on the service tier."""
