Wendy Davis took a look around the domestic broadband marketplace and concluded the same thing we did: they’ll be back for another round of Cap ‘n Tier soon enough.

The company’s own statements make clear it still wants to move towards a metered pricing system. “While we continue to believe that consumption based billing may be the best pricing plan for consumers, we want to do everything we can to inform our customers of our plans and have the benefit of their views as part of our testing process,” Time Warner Chairman Glenn Britt said in a statement last week.

The company also said that it’s going to arrange to give subscribers measurement tools so they’ll be able to see how much bandwidth they’re actually using each month.

Davis also reports on the rally in front of Time Warner’s Rochester, N.Y., offices which attracted about 30 protestors, noting it happened after Time Warner backed off the proposal.

Internet service providers argue that they are facing rising bandwidth demand and that metered pricing is fairer to consumers than the current unlimited use pricing. Perhaps more people would agree if the proposed fees were lower. But so far people have a hard time swallowing $150 a month for unlimited bandwidth — especially when, according to The New York Times, the costs of upgrading equipment is “shrinking steadily.” The paper also reports that Comcast told investors it costs less than $7 a home to double the Internet capacity of a neighborhood.
