What a few companies decide to do can have a negative effect not just on our economy,

32 years with SBC/AT&T in IT, including broadband development......I understand the impact, yet I also understand that service levels can be enforced rather quickly by the simple threat civil suits.

No gubment legislative-jerk needed..thankyouverymuch!

I don't understand. How could someone sue someone else for doing something the government has explicitly refused to criminalize?

Of course, but with this plan Skype and Google will have to pay extra to get a decent service level. The MSM will be able to pay for their decent service level. The rest of us will get our content out through the low-rent, low-speed Internet.

Another thing just hit me, how's this going to affect my hosting service? Will the videos I have up suddenly cost me more to host if I want people to get them quickly?
