The last thing he wanted to do as a web developer is get stuck doing production work, or maintaining a.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebStrategyByJeremiah/~3/221040159/ Time Warner Cable: Heavy Downloaders Should Pay Us More Money- January 17, 2008 Bad news for big downloaders who use Time Warner Cable as their ISP: you may soon face a higher bill. The nation's 2 cable ISP is set to begin charging customers more based on the amount they download.
