Would you object to an ISP model where a content provider could pay to
get an ISP subscriber's package upgraded on a dynamic basis?
It would look something like my Road Runner PowerBoost(tm) service, only
it never cuts off when the consumer is accessing a particular content
provider's service.
That would allow Netflix/Hulu/OnLive/whoever to offer me a streaming
service that requires a 15Mbps connection even though I'm not willing to
upgrade my 10 up/1 down ISP connection to get it.
