So to get this straight you have to shop around for someone with TOS that you feel you can live with and then you have to pay the band width that you use. Money makes the internet run so you'll have to live with it. As for who owns the computer that serves up your pages you can own your own or have it hosted and that costs you either way, you pays your money and takes your choice.
The TOS is the sticking point here since the physical ownership of the machine is irrelevant, what about data havens like Sealand.gov . Here they have what some regard as a relaxed TOS but doesn't their up stream provider hold their TOS over them sword of Damocles style? And ultimately my ISP serves up pages to me that are outside its Terms of Service and it never seems to bother them. This up stream provider shit has to end somewhere.
We had the if money is no object stuff earlier but ultimately can't you buy a backbone and get round that.
