And who will complain if they do? Not I. And will advertizing revenue alone pay for it? Or will they start charging you and "access fee"? And when they do, will you still use their service? Ah yes, markets do work.

Google and the like have been skating for years on a business plan that essentially got a free ride on a telecommunications backbone that was built and subsidized by your land-line fees, which have been declining as a revenue stream. It's time for someone to start paying for that decline in order to continue to support the backbone.

Someone you think that Google's highly profitable business should not have to help pay for it. They are not on your side. Get over it.
