The telcos say it's not fair they have to carry their competition's content on their lines. Bull****.
Their competition pays for the bandwidth just like everyone else.
The telcos already charge at both ends of the pipe. In fact, they already overcharge.
They charge everyone for more bandwidth than is normally used. But that's not the problem.
The problem is they want to charge more based on content to maximize their profit margins.
The problem is they want to shut down the competition to preserve their semi-monopolies.
Of course, they do a fine job of making themselves SOUND like they want something that's good for the world... that's how they get away with it. That's how they call their campaign "Hands Off The Internet." Nicely ironic for people who want the government's hands off so that they can choke it to death themselves.
