Wireless providers charging per service?

     It has been rumored, and maybe more than rumored, that wireless providers may start charging per service.
What this means is that your wireless carrier, such as Verizon, Sprint and AT&T, would, instead of charging a flat fee for a certain amount of data, would charge different amounts of money, see the diagram below for an example.


























     The above is an actual slide from a marketing webinar by two companies, Allot and Openet, who consider AT&T, Verizon, and Vodafone as their clients.
     So is this what we want? Is this what you want? Is this what the world wants? Or is this just what the carriers want?
     From this, it's hard to tell what the costs for plain internet browsing will be, or what it will cost to run any other apps.
     It's hard to understand what this is telling us, but we know it's telling us something, and has the ability to change our lives.
