Well, it appears as if Time Warner Cable has seen the light, for now:

This however doesn't mean that the debate is over. This article is quite current, just last Thursday (04/16/09), so more information is sure to come. Here is another article similar to the first that gives a slightly different view. This article is from last Wednesday (04/15/09):

These talk more of delays and less of completely shelving the issue. What is their plan? To let it go for a few months and hope that people forget about it? Take a look at this quote from the first article by Time Warner Cable's CEO Glenn Britt
"It is clear from the public response over the last two weeks that there is a great deal of misunderstanding about our plans to roll out additional tests on consumption-based billing,"
Misunderstanding? Really? I think it's quite simple, and I firmly believe that everyone that is in a test market would agree. I think the only misunderstanding here is Time Warner Cable not listening to their customers, and I'm certainly not alone in that belief.
Lastly, I am sorry for partially misinforming you with a blog that was a little behind the times. Although this debate is not over, it isn't quite the hot issue it was before I saw this article. It is my mistake for not checking before posting. Continue to keep updated though, as this could change again. Thanks for reading.
