So let me get this straight. There is a "private" company owning most (if not all) of the Internet infrastructure in this country and to boost their profits they have conceived a scheme where they are going to discriminate bits that are send through their infrastructure by "deep scanning" and determining what bits are send through to bill accordingly?<p>Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) for them to just increase costs of their infrastructure across the board? Call me paranoid but I suspect that there is something else going on here, these guys are determined on their "deep scans".<p>And what about SSL?
Note that there is an exception if the ISP does it on ideal grounds, tells the user and doesn't use it for its own profit. This was an amendment by a extremist christian party that accidentally got voted in by the labor party...
