Ugh, one step closer to the nightmare illustrated in http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/22/how-a-nonneutral-isp.ht... Here we all were watching the ISPs closely to avoid this from happening, and it turns out that it's the service providers who would take the first step.

I agree, I didn't even see this coming. I figured content creators would want their content on as many 'pipes' as possible. Turns out they're just as greedy as ISPs.

How many times can they sell the exact same product to us?
