Jaypee,
The problem is that, if this does occurr, the “Premium” Membership will still be subject to what the ISP’s want to do…

If they include ‘your Premium’ sites, you’ll be fine. But, if these do not make it into the ‘bundle’, then regardless of ‘Premium membership’, that site will either be blocked or you will be charged an extra charge every time you go there. This would spell the death of 99% plus of all the sites on the Internet, and only allow the ones backed by the multinational corporations to survive.
