The internet is going to get more costly to users, it seems. While it will be a gradual change, these two recent events, in my opinion, may hurt the internet crowd.
Essentially, the FCC (Federal Communication Commission) determined to set floor rates and regulations on broadband internet, and several other companies took them to court over this...and have failed (*coughs* Federal *coughs)

In light of some of the outrage and issues caused, the FCC has stated that they will not start these rates and regulations until 2015, and that they will try to increase the rates at a lower increment.

Court Case

FCC Phases in Floor Rates

This, to me, is disconcerting...
Thoughts?
