nuclearcat wroteI will explain in simple words.
You have straight pipe to house from water pump in the area. No counter (other countries there is counters).
Let's say everybody likes to open water and water flowing all around to their toilers and etc. They just leave it open always.
Then only 1st floors will have water only. The higher u live, the pressure will be too low to reach u.
Same about electricity.
The unmetered goods are for people who respect and use them productive and proper way and do economy, not downloading gigaz of warez, and then deleting it or never ever open it, and just feeling so good that they downloaded or have them.
Although I'm a warez user and I mainly download HD documentaries, there are still lots of ways where you could use the speed and the bandwidth to download. For example, I downloaded an application on my xoom just to test it out, it's a speed racing game, when I launched it I got a notice that I need to download a 500MB update file for the game to work. If I'm gonna download this on my 30kb/s I'm gonna have to wait 2 days!
Without some sort of unlimited traffic, even at night, this whole thing is a sham.
