Internet is a business, and those who provide it must make a profit or it will stagnate. Improving technology cost money; do you want to pay for it, or do you want those who live rent-free while making billions to pay their fair share?
What a moronic statement.

youtube.com is paying over $1 million a month for bandwidth, by some accounts. That is their fair share.

The real reason for a 'tiered internet' is that phone companies are losing revenue to Vonage and other IP-based phone services. That is the 'free market.'

A 'tiered' Internet creates a legislated 'special class' for phone companies.
