The are proposing business changes, so the they can siphon off MORE money from the consumer. And the reasons they state for doing so are not even valid. If I'm paying Internet access and Google is paying for internet access, why should I have to pay MORE just to go to Google? And why should Google pay any more just cause they are the best thing to happen to the Internet since Mosaic? And the market HAS decided already which way it wants to go.

In any case, I will feel better letting the free market sort this stuff out and not some government regulator incapable of understanding the technical issues.
