Re: Would seem pretty simple...
You just completely contradicted yourself. We do pay for our bandwidth at the levels we are subscribed to...
Dial up.. You get slow service, dsl/cable, you get mainstream level of service, VDSL2 or Fios or dedicated cicuit... Better yet.
The Googles/yahoos.. pay for their access to the internet as well.. It costs them money each time someone access and uses their site. They pay for their dedicated circuits and usage...
You might want to look into how websites are hosted, ran, accessed, and the costs that go along with it all. |

Everyone already pays for their access to the internet.
Why should this even be an issue? I'd have to agree, it does equate to digital extortion.
I fail to see why the company that has invested the money cannot create differnet level of services.
I can get dialup for $10 per month but to get better quality brought on by higher speed I must pay.
If there is no money to be made in building better networks, the carriers will put their money in CDs and the buildout will cease.
A better question is why you would stick up for the Googles and Yahoos and the millionaire founders who think that they should hawk their wares on the telephone company's dime.
If you do not want to pay for the higher quality network, do not use it. If you think the high quality cell phone system is an affront to the consumer, go use CB radio. You pay for better quality everywhere. It is the same thing. |
