Exactly, you highlight the point perfectly. If they can afford to pay an "access fee" just how much of a margin are they charging? In this day and age communications are closer to being a utility than a luxury. The need for unfettered communication access in our society is something required so we can, as informed citizens, make intelligent, informed choices. Access to media/communications should be considered a utility and regulated like other services (power, transportation, municipal). The handful of companies that control the communications/media in the U.S. have proven again and again to be greedy, controlling, selfish and manipulative bastards. This is just one more example.

I completely agree...

That would be funny...
