Maurice,
thanks for clearing up the situation on the Fiber situation in NZ. I see I could agree with most of what you write.

The "pricing of packets" is counterintuitive to the essence of hte Internet. The Internet to be as useful as it's now requires FLAT FEE pricing. Don'T forget, there's the equivalent of Moore's law for bandwidth (called Nielsen's law), so the upgrades (on a linear fashion) are progressively cheaper. From your profile, I figure you should be tech-savvy enough to epxlore the background.

If a backbone were congested, the respective SPs would be losing customers and void SLAs. The monthly flat charge allows for the required upgrade in peak capacity.

Flat-fee Internet is the only way to go. Comeptitive providers learnt this lesson a long time ago...
