I though, that we paid for Internet infrastructue with line charges and in the case of some of us data download charges. Same with content providers like Google. Silly me. Verizon and friends must have been operating the 'Net for free for the last 10 years?
Sounds like Verizon and anyone else with that mentatily simply wants more offshoring and to eventually hand the virtual US control of the 'Net to someone else.
I can't see why Google or any other company would not move their servers offshore to places where the Telcos's arent being totally unrealistic and excessively greedy.
Alternatively I suspect all it would take is for one Telco not to pursue such greedy and short sighted policies and that Telco would win a shit load of business at the expense of the silly buggers who think that Verizons idea is smart.
