Those of us below the 45th Parallel need to pay attention to this also. AT&T is already making noise that they want UBB in the US. If this gains any kind of hold in CA, I'm sure we will start seeing it in the rest of North America.
You're right, it is greed, pure and simple. All the growth in Internet use has been squandered. The carriers and ISPs have been stuffing their pockets with money paid by the users - very little has been reinvested into infrastructure. Now that people are using the Internet more for video and cloud storage, the ISPs see an opportunity to make a cash grab with little or no further investment. They will keep usage down and still make more money.
I guess it was inevitable. Between the ISPs and the entertainment companies, the Internet is losing it's charm. The bullies are taking their ball and going home. Freedom! - William Wallace
