Yes, but I'm seeing active campaigning by the public against these policies
in other countries. Example in Canada (although traffic shaping is another,
but related, issue) there were protests and open letters and a huge uproar
from other ISPs and downstream ISPs. I mean they actually got SUED!

But in the US Article you see that the other providers have remained totally
quiet, and there's certainly no evident public backlash from the Technical
Community.

Corporations will always try to milk the consumer...but the Consumer usually
fights back and pushes back in the bigger countries. What I'm not
understanding with this as well, is why the US Technical groups and techies
in general are so quiet about all this.

There isn't a peep from Silicon Valley, for example.
