If there is money involved, I'll bet the gating will occur.

This is something that very large numbers of people have interest in.
If they all write their representatives, they will discover that they have much more power than paid lobbyists, if they chose to use it.

This is something that very large numbers of people have interest in. Yep--everyone here on FR will be affected.

The nerve of those lowly peons. They used the internet, got free speech and bypassed the propaganda machines of the mainstream media. Now, its time to regain control of the unruly masses. Put a price tag on free speech and put the lowly peons back in the pasture. What do they think this is, a free country?

Open and neutral pipes BUMP.

A number of telephone companies such as SBC/AT&T, Verizon and others have begun talking about offering a new prioritization service to Internet businesses. The general concept is simple: Pay the ISP some extra money, and the data packets to and from your Web site get priority.I'd pay. I want those t*tties to pop up QUICKLY.
Perkily, you might say.

I'd pay. You're not the one they're gonna charge. It's the websites that will have to pay.
Now you gotta go find a whole new group of sites.

Telecoms argue that they are not getting enough return for the tremendous investments they have made to lay down fiber-optic cables and otherwise pave the information highway. Question: How much do you guys pay for your broadband to receive data from web sites, and how much do you think Google, etc., pay the telcos for their multiple high-speed lines to serve it? That's a lot of money. The telcos are just getting greedy.

Don't be messing with my porn, Ace. LOL! Far be it for me to be messing with anything of yours, Laz.
