Has your ISP ever stated they are planning on doing this? Or any other ISP, for that matter? This is a solution in search of a problem. And let's not kid ourselves, when the Left is so strongly behind an initiative with seemingly good intentions, it is time to watch the other hand. That is ALWAYS how the Left pushes the ball down the field. Their real goal is to control the message again, as they have lost it due in large part to the existence of the Internet. They controlled the flow of information for a long time, which allowed them to shape the debate in this country for several decades. But they've lost that control and they want it back. Frankly, I think the court that told the FCC that they have no jurisdiction here should slap them with a contempt of court order.

Twenty years ago, who would have thought that banks would start charging $5 a month to use a debit card? After all, ATM cards and debit cards were pushed by the banks because they wanted to reduce staff at the branch and the check-processing facilities. Now, they tell us that they’re losing money on our ATM and debit cards so they need to charge us another FEE. The internet of the future will use microtransactions to charge us for content that we want to see. They just need to work out the mechanisms and and way to insure that all the corporations involved profit from them before they drop it on us. Like ATM and debit cards, we can’t imagine a world without the internet so we’ll pay whatever tribute they demand.
