This article is bullshytt. I worked for DoD, NSA, and CIA, when I was in the Military blocking cyber attacks. The equipment they have is so far more advance then anything I have seen at an Intel, Microsoft, or Google. This is just a reason to pay high salaries to civilian employees. My friend works for the NSA Network Security and starting salary... yeap 170,000 a year.
Actually your wrong there Anti-Mike, Norway does not care about piracy. Coming from the US and working for one of the biggest ISP in Norway I get 100's of emails from CBS, NBC, ABC, Paramount, etc. etc. With a list of IP address's as well as the movies or shows that where downloaded.
You want to know where it goes to the SPAM box, because there is no law against file sharing. Go Norway!

I am just speaking for myself but I went in for a job interview for a very reputable stock firm. The firm offered a yearly salary of 180,000.00 USD. I have not even walked out of the building when I got a call from another firm, and apparently they where scouting me for several weeks and offered a salary of 250,000.00 USD. So of course I took the higher pay. I think that DOJ has nothing better to do but sit around and attack these companies, and waste the American peoples hard earned tax dollars.
I think bottom line putting a cap on broadband usage is just a way for ISP's to make more money, I mean come on if they are suffering that bad, get a bail-out from Obama and then give out bonuses. I own a place in Hawaii and I dont know about NZ but there was no caps there, and the 4.3 million population on just one island used internet, and my speeds where about 9/2mbps. I moved to Europe and pay half the price for fiber optics and have a 100/100mbps. Now I also have 2 servers and 3 desktop machines as well as 2 laptops, and my average up is about 500-600gigs a month. Not to mention I am also doing a remote desktop link to my server in Hawaii so bandwidth varies. As far as wireless, no one has been able to successfully hack a secure WPA connection, and when I mean secure I am talking about using a Hex key and not one like "luisisanoob". I know this because I build and test 128-256bit encryption algorithms
Note to self do not move to NZ. Metered broadband? I have metered broadband when I use my phone as a modem. But actual broadband? Wow! you are handicapped from playing MMO´s social networks, etc, etc. Again I dont see Europe doing this as everyone is outfitted with fiber optics to your home and have an average speed of 12/12mb. Unless you are like me who wants that extra 100/100 for only a few dollars more. I just feel that Chargone, you are being deprived of being able to fully surf the internet.
I think that this is the most stupidest idea ever put forth, I think its more so targeted for the torrent downloaders. Its a good thing that I live abroad in Europe and have a 100/100mb fiber line going to my personal home. This is a demstration of how bad the economy is getting and how the CEO´s of the broadband providers are trying to think up of ways to fatten their pockets. Don´t get me wrong if the metering is for testing purposes for future upgrades in the system in the given area then I think its a great idea, but to hire a third party to meter it?
I agree with zFrogz if this happens then there should be a regulation for the content that is being streamed. However, I see this as a lose-lose situation as its going to come up that the advertisment, adbanners, etc. etc. is not the responsibility of the broadband company but the responsibility of the site provider. and I eventually see this being a downturn in the internet period.
Again, good to be living abroad than in the kool-aid loving country known as America.
