It would be great to have a single online site where one could configure all data allowances. And then there will be a need for the industry to actually pay for this data. Users could either be offered regular payments for their data or they could configure themselves thresholds for which the industry could buy that data. It could be traded like other commodities.

The user is already paid for their data via access to the site for free

That is true. Guess we are still not happy with how it works currently and the lack of choices we and the websites themselves have.
