I think this will happen with the new wave of telecom companies that rely on satellites instead of ground towers (probably in the next decade or so)

Maybe. If you look at the total available bandwidth of the satellite systems vs their potential subscriber base, I think metering will probably happen at a lower level than many people expect.

Perhaps they'll upgrade to much better radios in the future and the whole issue will be resolved.


If only that was technologically feasible...
