Glad I don't live in the States, especially if this comes about.

Link (http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0805-07.htm)There, a coalition that included Amazon.com, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, Disney and othersThe industry coalition spoke of "tiered" service, where consumers would be charged according to "gold, silver and bronze" levels of bandwidth use. The days where lawmakers once spoke about eradicating the "Digital Divide" in America has come full circle. Under the scenario presented by the lobbyists, people on fixed incomes would have to accept a stripped-down Internet, full of personally targeted advertising. Other users could get a price break if they receive bundled content -- news, music, games -- from one telecom or media company. Anybody interested in other "non-mainstream" news, software or higher-volume usage, could pay for the privilege. The panel's response was warm, suggesting that the industry should work this out with little federal intrusion. That approach has already been embraced by the industry-friendly Federal Communications Commission.

That.is.very.very.bad...

They're killing something they have no right to kill! I wish people would leave the internet alone, I mean sure it's absolutely HUGE now but it's the one place people can get away to, without moving!
