How about Profit-ba<x>sed billing?? We can calculate the amount of money the ISP needs to buy new equipment to pay a DECENT wage to its workers a REASONABLE wage it its fat ass CEOs and divide that amount by the number of subscribers on that ISP's network and we can all pay about $6.99 a month for high-speed internet service. The problem with these damn corporations is that their greatest concern is that everyone on the board of trustees needs to be able to afford a power yacht. Well to hell with em. I have a better idea.

Just think if people were cut OFF from their itunes! AT&T had better think long and hard about this decision because it all boils down to money....money they will no longer be making if they start to filter content.

I'd like to be ready to switch to a new provider ASAP. Is Earthli<x>nk still around? Or who? (For cable internet my only option would be Comcast and NO WAY am I wasting my time with them.)
