Right.

What I was thinking is that NBN charges each RSP per byte - that's
billing/polling a couple of 100 RSPs at the NNI which strikes me as
very tractable.

Most RSPs already do per-service usage tracking, so nothing new there.

My main suggestion is that NBNCo does not apply any limits to the RSP
- thus taking it out of the equation wrt performance. If the RSP wants
to limit at the NNI or at the service, that's entirely a matter for
them and the PR hit they might take as a consequence.

As Bevan rightly says of course, forcing NBNCo to be "profitable" is
probably the biggest constraint to any real structural change to the
pricing model.
