Tax on the Internet? Better to worry about AT&T


A look at the white papers and articles archived on the Center for Digital Democracy's Web site reveals paper after paper on how the telecom companies want to make the Internet into a tiered service, so that your 1.5-Mbps service is not the same as my 1.5-Mbps service....Hijacking the Internet, John Dvorak, PCMag.com


If you're distressed every few years by a secret plan (authored by Al Gore) to tax the Internet, you might want to read about what's actually happening. John Dvorak in today's PCMag.com has the inside track and it's not a pretty route at all. Dvorak's politics may not be my politics (or yours) but I'd like to be able to read his articles without paying AT&T a separate fee to do so.
