The nation's largest telephone and cable companies are crafting an alarming set of strategies that would transform the free, open and nondiscriminatory Internet of today to a privately run and branded service that would charge a fee for virtually everything we do online.

Sounds like SOP to me.

I dont accept that. Maybe its a ploy to collect more info, but I think I'll add my name to Free Press E-Activist Network. If theres anything we can do to prevent another oppressive mega conglomerate monopoly from emerging, its probably worth it. http://www.freepress.net/action/neutrality

As for gold, silver, bronze access - that already exists, you can pay extra for unlimited downloads without penalty etc.

Very true, except "unlimited" doesn't mean that there is no limit, and "without penalty" doesn't mean that there is no penalty.
