As to (c) I was reading "system" as the two signup pages, not the overall wifi system. Still, unless there's a difference between the mobile and laptop services, they're the same product regardless of type of device used to access the system, and you're paying for the service.
It would be like an all you can eat restaurant charging extra if you were over certain weight/height thresholds.
well... most buffets I've been to have a reduced price for children since they are typically going to eat less. But it is hard to make good analogies between physical/virtual things.
True those analogies are very hard to make, as evidenced by the media piracy debate and "you wouldn't download a car, would you?"
I think the majority of my vitriol comes because it's an asinine way to split up service based on what we're assuming is bandwidth concerns. If they want a tiered service, then put in a tiered rate structure. The "laptop" rate gets you 300kbps, the "mobile" gets you 100kbps. Simple.
