Honestly, that has got to be the most retarded, asinine nitwit thing to do. They want to strangle startups when, in the beginning, they TOO were just startups. The telcoms are getting *paid* for a service. They already have their claws in everything else. Hey, why not charge for bandwidth for local TV stations and radio? Hell, they could convince the local power companies to lower the power on the antenna if the radio station doesn't pony up the extra $1000 a month for "premium" usage. It's unfreaking rediculous, and a pox on the Congressmen that let them do it!
