re: Democrats unveil legislation forcing the FCC to ban Internet "fast" lanes

Leahy and Matsui's proposed ban on fast lanes would apply only to the connections between consumers and their ISPs

This is actually where the tiered services should be, between consumers and their ISP. If consumers need a fast lane they should be able to pay for it, if they don't they should be able to buy a slower lane. What is bad about what's going on is the hidden double dipping the ISPs want to do with content providers, not consumers.
