My biggest fear is that the net will up looking like cable TV. The telecoms charging huge amounts for nothing. Since there are only 3 major telecoms, you'll have a hard time finding an alternative. Even if you do you'll be charged extra. Another question is what if your ISP begins to support gay marraige, abortion rights, a democratic candidate?
Where you gonna go? What if this happens and they slow FR to a crawl because of negative comments? I wonder if FR will have to pay the telecoms to stay on the "air"? FR may have to go to a subscription service to cover the fees. Ugh.

I think you have a valid concern. Very costly for another company to build up the infrastructure needed to compete.
