I hope you say the same thing when we can't access House of FUsion because Michael can't pay additional fees to get the bandwidth, but still has a lot of traffic coming to the site.
Your point of view is so naive. They don't have to block content outright. They can, however, cap the available bandwidth to other sites while boosting the service to , say Amazon. So smaller sites suffer because whereas before they could get a crowd of people at maximum service, that same number of individuals will have difficulty getting through to them.If you are a small competitor to Amazon, and people reach Amazon.com faster than they reach MyBookstore.com who do you think people are going to choose to go to??? I mean..DUH! Be serious Robert. If there were NO disadvantage, why would large companies be expected to pay a higher fee in the first place? Obviously there is an advantage to paying a fee, and if that advantage means that you can handle more traffic in less time than your competitor, then that puts the other internet sites at a DIS-advantage. Simple logic, and simple common sense. It is the ruling class once again trying to change the standards to favor themselves, and removing the equal oppurtunity status of the Internet where once the smallest E-Commerce sites or information sites could have once competed with the largest stores and news corporations.
