There is one hitchm the telcos will charge a premium wich makes sense if one going to order filet mignon one should expet filet mignon prices.
It would make sense if it cost them a lot to offer QoS for VoIP, however, because nearly all of the routers that the providers use have QOS features built into them and because it costs nothing to turn them on, charging VoIP service providers extra for something that doesn't cost the access providers anything is asinine.
no it called capitalism, they can pay up for premium tiers or shut up and stay with the lower tiers.

Re: Sigh...

It's nothing to do with capitalism when the only reason the telephone and cable companies are in a position to extort double payments is that they are allowed to maintain monopolies on the "last mile" to customers' premises (on telephone or cable lines respectively).

This so-called "fast lane" is only the regular service that everyone has already paid for. The ISP's customers pay for their connections and the remote providers that they access pay for their own internet access at their end of the connection. "Premium" for some is just another word for degrading service for everyone who won't pay an additional fee to avoid throttling. This is an abuse of a monopoly, not a healthy market.

Yes it is capitalism... It is also asinine. The two are not mutually exclusive.
