* ISP Explains data caps to FCC: Using the Internet is like eating Oreos, you have to pay extra for double-stuffed.
* Argument: “Imagine you are out for a walk and experience a sudden, irresistible craving for Oreo® cookies. You only want to spend two dollars, which means that you will be able to buy a two-pack or maybe even a four-pack but for sure you cannot get the family size of over 40 cookies. For that many, you have to spend more. Of course, it would be nice if your two dollars bought you the right to eat an unlimited number of cookies, but you know that is not the way our economy works.“
* Counterargument: “Let’s say you have a bad Oreo habit. Like a box a day. With such Oreo consumption, you have negotiated a deal wherein you get a full month’s supply for $100. 30 boxes or so for $100. Now a few days before the month is up, you run out of Oreos. You see, you have visitors , and they like Oreos too. You would think you could just to to 7-Eleven and buy a box for $5. But you can only buy Oreos from your current supplier, as the local municipal government has legally mandated that there are only two OSPs (Oreo Service Providers) allowed to sell Oreos in your city. You have to pick one (which you have) and you can’t switch mid-month without paying for the next month you’ll never receive. So you get the extra box from your OSP, and pay the overage fee of $25 a box.“
* People don’t need unlimited data according to Verizon CFO Fran Shammo.
