But that's not what the bill is about. It's about the ISP disallowing you 
from using someone else's NNTP server unless you pay extra. It's about the 
ISP saying "you have to pay more to get to news.povray.org than to 
www.povray.org."  It has nothing to do with the cost of providing the bits 
and everything to do with the profit to be made from popular content.
