I wrote it to introduce the concept to the people fighting Usage Based Billing here in Canada during a federal election. I don't need to get all the details right because this is intended for the general population, but any feedback about the general correctness of the description is appreciated. http://callenish.blogspot.com/2011/03/usage-based-billing-caused-by-internet.html
