Aren't we already paying?
As I understand it ISP's want to charge companies like Vonage a fee to allow their service to be used by the ISP's customers.

As an ISP customer, I'm already paying for my 4 or 9MB of bandwidth. Vonage is no doubt paying someone for their bandwidth as well.

So what is this extra charge all about? I imagine it's all about greed. Lost potential revenue on the ISP side.

A friend of mine recently bought a Vonage phone, then his ISP blocked his access to the vonage network because they offer a competing service.

Anyway, I am for net neutrality.
