Re: Small ISPS

E-mail is not a worthwhile comparison to accessing 3rd party content. If someone doesn't use an e-mail address, it costs the ISP nothing (even if they use it, it's such little expense). If somebody chooses not to access a 3rd party content provider, the ISP is still paying for the service.

Regardless, it makes monopolies worse. If a large ISP chooses to not pay for certain content, the subscribers suffer. Like I said, it makes sense to leave the content access up to the subscribers and not the ISPs.

and yes it is. It does cost money. It costs money for that server to be on, it costs bandwidth, it also costs time to maintain that server and make sure its reliable. those items are not free.

Not anywhere near $0.75/user. If less people use their ISPs email address, don't you think there will be considerably less bandwidth used? less server use? etc

Of course those items aren't free, but it's not a fixed cost @ $0.75/user.
