Who is paying for access to the Internet?
I thought it was the end-user / customer who was paying, that with their
payment is paying for the ISP to gain access to the rest of the net.
I would hope that my monthly internet charges would keep me from being a
set of "eyeballs" that are to be "monetized" by my ISP.
Otherwise give me the service for free...
