Actually, that is not what Rick was suggesting as I understood it. At one level he's saying he should be able to charge the company who is NOT in his service territory for responding to a customer enquiry (looking at a web page, downloading a movie).
Your cell company charges *you* for your minutes, not the person you're calling. The person you're calling might, or might not, be charged for your call, but your cell company cannot charge them unless it's the same cell company. Rick's other argument (in parenthesis) was that we should charge the local ISP that hosts the business (say Netflix). Though that might be possible I'd sure hate to start getting bills from Verizon because one of my customers hosts a web site that is popular with Verizon customers. I don't see anything good coming out of that ;-).
