It would have to do things because they're a public carrier. I.e., it's the 
same sort of argument as "I don't see why my company has to sell stuff to 
black people."  Well, because the rest of society decided it's in society's 
best interest to prevent that sort of thing. I think it's in society's best 
interest to prevent companies providing the tubes from interfering with what 
flows over the tubes and charging discriminatory pricing on top of what the 
actual creators of the information provided.

It would be like the postal service saying "we're not going to carry 
packages from Amazon unless you pay extra for the postage." The postal 
service isn't adding any value to what you already paid the manufacturer for.
