How can companies believe that it is a good thing to charge others to allow them to access their content? So I will have to pay someone so that no one will come to my page instead of having free access to this blog? I fully support having the internet be free. The providers are already getting tons of money from everyone just to get to the initial gateway. They get anywhere from 15 to 50 dollars for private citizens paying for dsl, cable, dial-up and satelitte. They also get hundreds to thousands of dollars from companies paying for these same services with T1’s and faster access. When is enough going to satisfy these companies. It is turning into the same thing as the oil companies charging their outrageous prices for gasoline. I can’t wait until the perfect another source of energy. Why should any company give a retirement package coming close to $100 million dollars, when they are raping the common public. Capatalism is a good thing, but these are gross abuses of the free system.
