Imposition of taxes and other power plays. Seems like history
repeating itself and setting a dangerous precedent.

Taxation of the network and making US citizens bare
the brunt of the cost is UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD.

Increasing rates to ISP's and backbone providers is
and reverse method of taxation on the consumer in
the end for government benefit,
UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD.
