not sure what metering is. Anyone want to comment and explain what the controversy is.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Australia's new censorship laws.

Metering is simply charging for internet usage per the amount of bandwidth used. So, for instance, you might pay $20mo for 5Gig, and then scale up... and then, like cell phones, you get slammed on "overage".

Enaris has it right. In most countries, Internet usage is charged based on the quantity of data consumed. It can be quite expensive. Only a very few countries have the notion of "unlimited" Internet connections.
