In the real world though, these websites pay enormous hosting and bandwidth charges by they're ISP's who in turn is charged by the Telco's for the inter-connects. What the telcos are really trying to do is gain control of traffic prioritization so they could effectively counter the growth of VoIP and be able to charge extra fee's to the VoIP providers for the privelage of ceompeting against them. Oh sure they will say it's google and yahoo but the fact is those websites pay for traffic bit by bit. This is about maintaining a monopoly on voice services.

I thought I’d take it a step further and convert it into HTML using Eric Meyers’ s5. Fire a link back to Meryl and that’s that. Meryl emails me and says she’s getting referral hits from my page. Seems it got linked from another couple of blogs. She coined a term for this situation that I really like: echolanche.

The fact that he's out there stumbling over himself indicates that he's touting someone else's opinion. But hey, this is about the most corrupt congress we've ever had, so what's the harm then, right?
