"....Now watch, the government gets involved,..."

Ummm... despite all the Libertarian and Republican rhetoric decrying "government regulation", who else CAN even make a dent in the tendency of 'business interests' in trying to manipulate the entire system for their personal financial advantage?

The internet/WWW was not invented to serve as a cash cow for moneyed interests! They are free to USE it to offer goods & services, but they want to control access so THEY can install what amounts to toll gates and toll roads and allow less-than-free access to the basics.

There's nothing wrong with charging people for 'services rendered', but weak rules like those just laid out will end with ISPs squeezing every possible dime out of folks like me. I am not against fair return, but I AM against the rule book being written to favor those most likely to abuse the privilege.
