I tried to warn everyone. Looks like the 1st move by the telco’s are starting to take shape.

Step 2 -
fiddling with web traffic to force content providers to pay up, and/or force people to a different tier to get access to certain sites. It will be like the multi-tier television packages. Oh, you want to access freerepublic.com, FR didn’t pay their bill, so they are not provided on your internet package. Or, you have to have the most expensive internet package to get freerepublic.com

And you still are thinking only about your own situation. We all pay for services we want. How is this any different from paying for health care? You want to have the same exact service but pay less and so does Obama.

If you saddle telecom companies with this socialist bill, they will not expand or increase research and development because there won't be any pay off for them.

Grow up, pay for the services you want and live with the services you can afford and eventually, after R&D is paid for, more services are affordable to all.

And please stop spouting this crap about Netflix not paying their bill but should still be allowed to be on line - what in the world is wrong with you? It doesn't matter if it is you not paying a bill, or a major company, service is cut off - why would Netflix EVER pay their bill if their customers could keep paying them but they didn't have to pay their provider?
