And it is a disaster and bait and switch scheme. Sure, don't discriminate on FIXED (don't be fooled by the term "wireline"), but choke the pipe so much that people will want to "upgrade" to premium services where content will be pay-per-view type. This about segmenting the Internet and to give carriers the keys to decide what content and application YOU want. What YOU want actually does not matter.
The blogs are alive with outraged and panicked netroots people.

"Want your content to get through faster? Pay us." That is pretty much it in a nutshell. Maybe ISPs around the world should block Google entirely unless they pay you then.
