Arm and a leg

It use to be you had to pay an arm and a leg for fast internet access. As competition grew, prices fell and you can get fast internet access real cheap. Since the line sharing law is gone and all you basically have now is duopolies, now the Telco's can charge a arm and a leg for fast internet access again.

But wait, they are not going to charge the customers, they are going to charge the content companies. So if a small content provider can't pay the Telco's for access to there pipes, then guess what? You have less content on the internet.

So in a sense the Telco is not blocking content, they are just forcing the content providers to go away.
