small isp -- total bs

I work at a small ISP and it only took about 2 weeks to get up and running with Disney and ESPN360. It costs us nothing (or next to nothing, I forget). The idea that this program somehow hurts small businesses is nothing short of ridiculous.

Costs the ISP nothing, for now.

Just like certain cable channels when they first came out were paying cable operators to carry them, now when they've become entrenched they are collecting fees from the cable operators and raise the fees every time the contract is renewed.

As the consumer I want to be able to choose and not have you do it for me.
I have no interest in paying extra for what you may find interesting.

All I want from my isp is access to the net, let me decide what extras I want.

Ummmmm your company IS in fact paying ESPN something to have that. If it was free then why wouldn't every ISP be doing it? Nice try.
