“Some ISPs WERE thinking about somehow favoring access to their “portal” site and inhibiting access to other portal sites...” Do you mean like old time AOL? Before what we know now as “internet” there were providers that let you dial in to their servers, and then you had access to their content, and getting out to other networks was kind of “second rate” access. That didn’t stick. Competition gave direct access to “the net” (not “a portal”) and AOL eventually switched to what we know now.
Yes, AOL is the prime example, but two modern-day examples are MSN and Yahoo, except they aren't also ISPs.

They have always invested under those rules why would they stop now? They are going to piss away billions of dollars because they can’t divert bandwidth to who they want?
You guys will really be whining when your liberal cable company puts bandwidth to a conservative website limited to only one person at a time.
Does anyone not think anything through anymore?
