Just my input on the matter... (Score 1)

If we are already paying the major backbone providers for access, which funds their business in return, why should these businesses complain about the price of improving the network (greater speeds, reliability)? We are funding your business with the expectation that you will continue to pour our money back into making the service that we subscribe to better. We are all already being "taxed" for access to the internet, why should major content providers be double taxed, and then pass the cost of those taxes onto the consumer just to "afford" to do what you are supposed to be doing anyway. Enhancing your product and funding future technologies. Not logging all my calls for the NSA.
