For me, here is the key quote that proves this is not about offsetting bandwidth congestion and infrastructure costs:
Congestion can happen even on networks with tremendous bandwidth, but
consumption pricing doesn’t generally care about congestion (if it did,
ISPs could exempt all traffic in the middle of the night, for instance,
when congestion is generally absent).
If this is about reducing congestion, then we should be thinking about dynamic pricing for usage. Otherwise, they are lying.
