Nobody is arguing against fee-for-=bandwidth. But if it costs the same to 
provide web pages about lolcats as it does to provide web pages about 
football scores, why should the ISP make more money from providing web pages 
about football scores?

But it doesn't. It costs exactly the same dollars per megabyte transferred. 
That's the point.

Would it be a good idea to say it's alright to refuse to put blacks or gays 
or whatever in your apartment complex, because you can't after all house 
everybody, so you might as well discriminate based on skin color?
