Maybe so. If so, here's some thoughts I don't see anyone else saying - The economist in me says that with deregulation of the Internet, we may see net prices, costs, and weight of data-transmission go down, and total value creation go up.
Poor consumers may get cheaper options subsidized by firms like Facebook and Google. Wealthy power users will probably wind up paying more to get out of subsidized channels. (Does Usenet already kinda do this?)
I stopped watching cable because I hated paying for a service that made me a product that channels could sell for advertising.
I really should take more control of my online habits anyways. Maybe this would help me do that.
