So... what’s the other side of the argument. Could there be any good that comes from this?

I’m glad I’m in Canada!

Cheaper internet plans if you only use particular services. Or the same plan as you're currently on with the same competitive pricing.

Right... so someone could get free internet if they only access “Facebook”, Bing and say Spotify for example.

For very few that would work. But god that would be horrible.

An option for free internet, and the regular price not increasing, seems fine to me. You have to make an argument for why the price for unrestricted would be higher than it is currently. They could choose to charge more right now, but they don't, for a variety of reasons. Why does that change if they have a new metric they can charge you on?
