Commercialization and Future Access to the Internet Highway

Commercialization
and Future Access to the Internet Highway

Mind you, Internet users already pay more depending on the volume of data they ask servers to carry, just as trucks pay higher license fees than cars on public highways. What the service providers would like to do is different: they would like to divide the Internet into many different speed lanes and charge a different fee for each lane. It would be as if a public highway were charging different fees depending on whether one car happens to be on the 50-mile lane, the 60-mile lane, the 70-mile lane, etc. It is easy to understand why such a system, if implemented in a quasi monopoly environment, would be a money-grabbing scheme.
