If all this meter does is count bits, indiscriminate of what the content is, then it's probably not a patent violation or a threat. Hell, counting bits is simple -- it's a program any two-bit programmer could probably create in a few hours. I don't know the details, but it sounds to me like what's different here is that this system is measuring time on-line in a different way. That's really different than buying electronic content through a meter. I'd be interested to hear more about it though -- especially if the system distinguishes between different types of content.
