I don't like the flimsy excuse give by that Telecom guy "why should they use our pipes for free".
Does anybody really think that they are not charging somebody for the use of their fibers and wires? Obviously they just want more for it. If my internet starts getting any more expensive, I will opt out of so many things. These mail lists will get pruned and stick with daily digests. If companies like the Walmarts of the world don't compensate for me looking/shopping on their site, then I won't pay extra to do it. The whole concept stinks.

It keeps upping the ante each time but nothing much seems to happen. Except that the Internet keeps growing and spreading and getting faster and better and ever more firmly rooted in all our societies. How much of this stuff could they make stick without running afoul of international agreements or stirring up international opposition? Let alone world opposition? Isn't it all just a hacker-magnet anyway? Would you include the hacker community in the Second Superpower? (Or do they all work for the CIA these days?)
