Personally, I'm not all that worried about the issue. At worst its going to mess up the internet for a few months to a year before the telcos realize thats they made a miztake.
By making content providers pay more they are eliminating much of the rich diversity that make the internet so usefull. In essence they are shooting themselves in the foot because they are taking their 'product' (Essentially the internet is their product) and making it less usefull. Guess whats toing to happen then? People are going to drop their high speed connections to the internet and go back to dial up because they don't need 3MBps to view an internet that is only coming to them at 1KBps. Nore do they really care to use it as much because most of what they went to use it for is pretty much gone.
