Ohh My God...

The day is dawning where the Internet will be TOLLED!!! I'm at a loss for words!!!! How can these ISP's even think about this silliness!! I mean Google is a service provider and yes they are doing very well. That's CAPITIALISM!!!! Ain't that why we love the U.S. of A. anyway?!

These ISP need to be very very carefull. Customer backlash will be strong and wide. Anyone who isn't doing this silliness will experience huge growth.

And any lawmaker who supports this won't get me vote thats for sure.

This is something I would like to see these commentaries get away from. Calling the monopoly telcos ISPs is an insult to the thousands of small business owners that helped bring the Internet to homes across this country when companies like SBC and Verizon saw no money in it.

Your local independent ISP is not advocating for access tariffs, it is the monopoly phone companies that are. And paying not being specific you help the Bell companies mislead those less knowledgeable into think all ISPs want to rape content providers.

I think we're all getting hypersensative. By definition, VZ, ATT, BellSouth are ISP's because they provide Internet to residential and business users. Their business units combine resources to do their jobs.

The smaller ISP is in danger because I'm sure they use the larger telco for their pipes. If VZ decides 'no Google for you but MSN is ok', since they are partners then unless your contract is structured otherwise, your users won't get to Google.

TWISI, if this thing gets traction, we consumers will be hurt.
