Of all the services that I use, phone service seems the most expensive relative to what I actually get out of it.

My impression is that on every other service, I'm being heavily subsidized by people who underuse it. I appreciate that, and wouldn't want to popularize the metering idea.

Metering means that once i switch from being a light user to being engaged with the service, I have to care about cost. Without metering, there's a fluid thoughtless transition.

After having to pay for so many different bills, I'd rather just have a fixed price and know that's what's paid out than have to worry about budget overruns on a metered plan.
