The issue is only and exactly: Who pays.
Shows what happens when Congress gets involved. The confusion about what seem like simple technical issues, the raising of unrelated points that the politicians think will resound with voters, the increase of control...

The only question here is whether Google, Microsoft, et al get to push a major expense of doing business - bandwidth - onto the public rather than paying for it themselves.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I wonder how cynical the lobbyists for these large companies trying to increase profits are in raising philosophical issues when the question is only money.
