The barriers are competition at the last mile and cartel behavior from providers. Having the ultimate cartel, the government, manage the rules is not the same as actual marketplace competition, I don't care what the FCC pencil-necks say.
The problem with this is simple: the moment you set up a paid search service, you have to restrict access to those people who have paid the subscription fees.
How so? You're going to have all sorts of promotional access.
Well, there are incubators that support some shiny new thing, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram but they tend to Do One Little Thing Well, a la Unix, and then sell their soul for rock-n-roll.
But we think about IT here. There are also business in the Real World http://www.groundedcoffeeshop.com/ but both of these examples underscore your broader point, if I may radically restate it: economic activity of consequence is a top-down, not a bottom-up affair these days.
The cost would seem proportional to the users.
As far as running the business, just let me sharpen my AWS knives a little more. ..
Of course, in our post-capitalistic era, just having a good business plan is necessary but insufficient to protect you from Big Oligarchy and Big Government, assuming you could pry them apart with a crowbar. If you offer a viable alternative, look for "something really, really unfortunate" to arrive with an innocuous name like "Net Neutrality", or something.
My patriotism is an acknowledgement that, in an exceptional moment of human history, a government was founded based upon the ideal that the government works for the people, not vice-versa.
Acknowledged, it was imperfect, and the Constitution was single data point along a growth curve. That the Constitution was not a destination is insufficient to go all Commie and scuttle the thing.
1. It's a rounder wheel, but I hope that others adopt it.
2. I've played my part to support and defend it, and draw honor from that service.
3. I don't think you argue in good faith, and thus label your every utterance "crap" until proven otherwise.
I have this weird condition where I don't feel the slightest bit of shame over history I didn't cause or natural accidents over which I'd no control, e.g. my heritage.

The barriers are exactly the issue I think that voters should focus on.
No way. I learned while sniffing glue that no knowledge existed prior to Andreessen rolling out Mosaic in 1993.
How would you do that, unless there were a trusted proxy running your searches?

The whole point of this thread is that you don't go dictating to corporations to take a haircut. Unless you're the government.
You really gotta walk back that excessive, exuberant, irrational optimism, Sparky.

Unlikely to be an equal revenue stream.

So, how much are we willing to pay as a subscription to make up the lost revenue?
Or do we just expect the vendor to eat the opportunity cost?
You are the left tonsil of evil. ;-)
Come back to our what? What!!?!?!?!? You can't let it end there! It's completely inhuman! Gaaaah!
Nicely done!
Probably not without the right framework, though.

You can't continue to have that patriotism in view of the observable facts - your government is by the few, for the few, and the people be damned.
You're telling me what to think? Who are you--the government?
Sure, revolution at the ballot box: I'm a big fan.

Business idea: bunch of old fart programmers get together, found own company, laugh at young punks.
