Yes, without outside intervention, the telco's will kill the internet. I agree 100%

Someone else on a different site gave a pretty nice analogy of what the telco's are trying to do, when relating it to another industry ...

"Imagine if your power provider wanted to charge different prices for your power based on whether you used it for toasting bread or watching TV; even further, what if it charged more for your toaster power if you used a brand of toaster that has not paid the power company for 'better' rates."

But in the case of the telco's that is EXACTLY what they are currently doing, and are looking to expand even further.
