The End of the Internet?: "The nation's largest telephone and cable companies are crafting an alarming set of strategies that would transform the free, open and nondiscriminatory Internet of today to a privately run and branded service that would charge a fee for virtually everything we do online."

This is bad stuff. Worse than bad, it's pure evil. Add to this AOL and Yahoo's little maneuver to start charging for each email and hey, do I smell a trend? Are the big boys thinking that the Republicans are in trouble? That they best open the piggybanks now and get their sleazy legislations passed within the next two or three years? It'll be worth gazillions to them if they can pull it off so you know they're gonna try. It'll break my heart if they succeed.
