It won't be taxes, it will be the ISP's that raise rates.


I don't know why this was voted down. If ISPs are not allowed to double-bill or drop packets, it's likely that they will increase prices (or not increase speed while keeping prices the same, which amounts to an increase over what it should be).


Who said anything about not letting ISPs drop packets?


a.k.a "regulatory recovery fees". On the other hand, if an ISP felt they could charge more, why aren't they doing so already? It's not like this is a competitive market with low profit margins...
