And driving is bad as opposed to sitting when:
reading?
eating?
watching TV?
listening to the radio?
any of the other myriad of activities done while seated?
What an idiot.
Not sure what this would accomplish... tracking of an individual? The moment the target steps out of the subway, they could track them via cell towers. Read data off the SIM card? Go for it, I don't store any data on my SIM... my phone's internal memory has all the space I need. Also, if I'm a thief, the first thing I do after I steal a phone is remove the battery, and possibly throw away the SIM.
What else could they hope to accomplish with such a system?
Just how much bandwidth do they think we have? Almost all home internet packages are capped, and don't get me started on how long it would take to upload a Blu-Ray. So in addition to paying their extra fees, I might have to pay for the extra bandwidth needed to upload my own movies as well...
It's a nice idea, but not thought through very well.
"Suspicious communications using VOIP or communicating through a PC game"
Seriously!? Communicating through a videogame? By that definition every single child who plays online computer games that allow them to talk to others is a potential threat. I wonder what that means for all those who play Modern Warfare and the like? Maybe they're TRAINING to be terrorists!
The US lawmakers sicken me.
I couldn't have said it better myself. That's why the most recent games I play are almost a decade old. I can play them when, how, and where I want. Period. No way in hell am I going to pay some company to tell me how I can play their game.

You know what I can't stop wondering? Remember a few years back, all those stories about undersea cables being cut? http://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=undersea+cable+cut
I realize that these cables are not part of the US infrastructure, but I can't help wondering. Especially now that we find out that the UK has an internet snooping facility in the Middle East: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/08/22/2228230/report-britain-has-a-secret-middle-east-web-surveillance-base
Am I being overly paranoid? Quite possibly. I'm just saying that my disbelief can only carry the weight of a finite number of coincidences.

Round and round we go...
BLUE... like the porto-potty!

If I remember my physics correctly, The larger a black hole gets, the weaker it's gravity becomes.
