And the most capitalistic thing us customers can do is to say "SCREW YOU" to all ISPs that do that. I suppose that it is the spirit of our free market to allow ISPs to do as they please.

AOL-Time Warner one of the companies that wants to do this controls a major internet backbone in the US. If you have a fast enough internet connection you'll notice that some backbones like Level3.net already put a cap on traffic crossing their lines. Any time I connect to server through the Level3.net backbone my speed drops to about 700KB/s. I've done traceroutes to different servers and as soon as the connection hits the Level3.net backbone the ping increases by 30-60ms.

I dont even want to think where this will lead to if this really happens. This is very scary because we are talking about the flow of infomation on the internet.

Every company has deals with other companies. It's how we all make money from one another. Be happy that you live in a society where information is available unlike the commies in China. By the way since we do live in a capitalist society NOT in a marxist society--the scariest thing is telling companies how they must run them. A bit paranoid aren’t we?
