Internet Metering is one of service models in which the internet service provider(ISP) such as KT, SK Broadband in Korea, and AT&T, Time Warner Cable, CamCast in America tracks bandwidth use and charges high traffic customers accordingly. In June 2008, Time Warner Cable began testing Internet Metering in Beaumont, Texas. To illustrate a typical example of this, a customer selects a service package with a flat rate up to a specified limit and then pays additional fees beyond the limit. For approaching to this Metering, ISP veils the raising fee rather than advancing service quality for customers. Due to the fact that the paying system bases on the quantity of Internet traffic, a customer would be willing to reduce the time and traffic to internet access, and then web-based content provider would try to upload contents without giving heavy traffic to a customer under a broadband cap. Internet Metering could influence on the authorship of copyrighted works and the information culture on cyberspace. Under this circumstance ISP has become a gatekeeper of the internet to make decision whether to open door and appreciate the information society. It means that the free access to the internet conducts the social and cultural advance via the digital convergency. The ‘free’ comes without a burden rather than being gratuitous. Internet Metering may be the burden to a customer, and a content provider, but for putting the appropriate policy with respect to free access to the internet. It needs legislation, if necessary.
