Yes, that's exactly the same. It's just as easy to determine how many minutes you've been on a phone as it is to determine "how many kilobytes did that just transfer"? Brilliant analogy.

Off the top of my head, I'd say somewhere below $21,000 for a monthly service.

Once again, brilliant analogy. Tell me again how this related to being charged the price of a Chevrolet for downloading data over the course 30 days?

And you said it well.

You realize companies have ethical responsibilities too, right? Someone downloading data for a month isn't a green light to drive them into bankruptcy.
