Cox piloting overage fees in Ohio, but has no plans for Louisiana markets yet
quote:
Cox Communication will roll out a pilot program in Cleveland this summer that will tack overage fees onto the bills of customers who exceed the limits of their data plans.
However, a national spokeswoman for Cox says the company has “no immediate plans to launch this in Louisiana or any of our other markets at this time.” “This is just a trial in Cleveland,” says Stacie Schafer, senior manager for Cox Communications
quote:
Shafer says it’s important to note that 95% of Cox customers are in plans that provide them with adequate data and will not be affected by the overage fees.
“Most of our customers are in the proper plan and have more than enough coverage to meet their needs,” she says. “It’s the small number that exceed their plan that would be affected by this. That’s why we’re experimenting.”

And people wonder why these "free market" capitalists can't be trusted to behave without some type of regulation.
They want a fast lane so they can charge for it. They want data limits to protect their tv business. Eventually, they'll want you to pay for every kb.
