Not possible
, infrastructure costs a lot to build small users essentially subsidise big users but to have things at all for anyone to use we all pay for that infrastructure at unequal rates. Big users essentially pay less per unit.
The trick is either get your monies worth or stop using the convenience of the service or facilities.
User pays never and can't really 100℅ work, at least where any large Servi or infrastructure is involved.
What's not possible?
Do you mean it's not possible for the consumer to pay for only what they use? I contend it's very possible if we all demanded that we stop paying for what we don't use - it's a basic right
Your assertion that we stop using the conveniences is silly because we can't go back to horse and cart days nor send messages by coooeeing across the hilltops
Why is the Govt laying down the NBN? It's because they think everyone needs the "convenience" of the internet
State Govts' think we need the "convenience" of compulsory Greenslips
How do you stop using Greenslips? I don't get my money's worth from Greenslips because I've never made a claim and never likely to. Many thousands of dollars gone down the drain, I'll received nothing. We should get refunds, or partial refunds
We really do need to think differently to politicians and corporations, we're wasting a lot of money, money that is rightfully ours
So ... whose side are you on?
