ISPs argue that guys like Google are freeloaders. Well, last time I checked, I was paying for my bandwith used to access them (and Google doesn't get theirs from a charity).

Indeed. But you don't pay a *premium*

Unfortunately the US operators also forget who pays for all the international capacity between you and google - and we know it's not AT&T, Qwest or BellSouth.

Too bad the current US administration only listens to the traditional big-lobbying-effort industry...
