This is not a new practice. (Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you are say, but....) I really don't want to see ISP's to be "in bed" with the Government. And being recipients of tax money. (I'm really not a fan of these Socialist type programs.) I'm going to refrain to going off on a long rant about it, but just say...... it's one thing not to tax these companies to try to "make things happen".... but it's an entirely different thing to (forcefully) take money from other people and give it to ISPs.
