Knee deep in the hoopla
The basis of the internet is that it is not a 'pay per play' medium. A 5 person start up can compete with a billion dollar company on a level playing field.
It's what makes the internet great and bases on meritocracy. If you don't like a certain search engine, use another one.
The political buzz word for it is Net Neutrality. "With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service."
Don't let the larger internet providers mess with the internet. They want to own it. Save the internet. We built this city.
It's the same way with Telecommunications providers. The larger Interner providers are spending millions lobbying congress to break Net Neutrality. The top executives get bonuses whenever a law is passed which is in their favor.
