That's not right at all. It sounds like typical big buisness to me. They just want to get more and more money. I wouldn't be supprised if Bell South doesn't even pay attention to their own customers.

In the 12/1 podcast Tom makes refference to a few backbone providers, Genuity, PSI... most of them don't exist in that fashion anymore. PSI was aquired by Cogent, Genuity is no more... As an employee of a backbone provider I'm guessing this plan isn't going to work. It makes no sense to put needless artificial strain on routers to rate limit traffic to a provider just to hold them hostage.
