1) The price of metering packets by destination exceeds the cost of providing the underlying service as it stands. This does not make me think that distance sensitive pricing has a bright future. This depends on what part of the planet you are on. If you have to support the cost of trans oceanic links then there certainly is the incentive to at least introduce price points for "domestic" traffic and "international". In short, I see no economic basis for such metering, and no moves towards such metering. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt that we're going to see any change in this any time soon. I think it's a North American view of the world, unsurprising on NANOG :-) Traffic metering is the dominant charging mechanism for permanent connections in Oz and Connect differentiate traffic based on its source (domestic/cache/external).
