I suggest that anticap is well placed for this after all it's remit is quite simply to allow unlimited broadband. Certainly to go away from a flat rate tarrif is no longer unlimited use in the sense we have all come to expect.
Anticap does however only have very limited resources. To establish a vociferous voice, increased support would be needed, not only of words of encouragement, but ppl who are prepared to get off their backsides and stand up to be counted.
I recall the shock on many of the attendees at the ISPAs (Internet Service Providers Association - effectively the ISPs trade organisation awards where they all gave each other pats on the back for being so clever) earlier this year after the ntl cap had just come out. They couldn't believe that even only 4 of us had taken time to make a stand. That and numerous comment throughout the internet I'm sure had a major impact on ntl not having pursued the cap policy.
To achieve a similar impact would take commitment, but it's worth doing because I'm sure ntl will be looking at the metering option, when technology allows.
