I was just reading in Network World or one of those where MCI was
offering a new usage-sensitive service into a formerly flat-rate
market (not TCP/IP, I'm only commenting on the pricing scheme here) to
lure new customers with a lower minimum price. The guarantee was "not
to exceed 120% of the full flat-rate price".
This seems rather clever, reactions?
