One of the issues that threatens our general use of the Internet is the big Telcos and other big pipe providers toying with the notion of a tiered Internet. What this means is that one day your ISP could look at the sites or services (read Vonage, Skype, etc) you want to visit and if they feel they should offer your traffic less bandwidth that someone using their own services (read IP Television, IP Telephony, etc), well that's just too bad for you. Talks on the subject are in full force in D.C. with it being a recent topic of the FCC. They have even brought up the subject of having Google, Yahoo, and other big sites PAY THEM because so many people visit their sites. Ummmm, that's the reason people actually want to have DSL and Cable internet access is it not?

Well, Google said officially they will have NO PROBLEMS filing anti-trust suits against these guys if things heat up. Good for Google.
