Carriers want a peice of the content pie, even though they have no peice in its actual creation/production. People already pay for internet access, and content providers pay their bandwidth bills.
They fail to realize people pay for their internet connections due to the compelling content online. The fact that content and online service providers provide a great benefit to their networks seems to be lost on them. They want to charge for them for their connection and then charge them for it again. I'm sure they could eventually think of another way to charge for the same thing when they decide they need more money. I'm of the mindset that carriers should pay companies like google, yourtube, myspace etc for providing a reason for people to have their internet connections.
I can see being skeptical of more government regulations, but if the carriers are allowed to implement this rediculous plan, we will all be poorer as a result. This has to be stopped. It will be the worst thing to happen to the internet since its creation.
