#2I'm more stunned by the price: I pay 20€ for unlimited and unrestricted data access with a double SIM (one mobile broadband, other for phone). And they want to charge more for other video access?

Whoa. MetroPCS is considered cheap in the USA, as most plans are around 60 a month.

I was shocked too when I came to the US for a few months.
In Germany, I just pay 9 cents per SMS/Minute and 10 Euros for a Gigabyte of data (per month).
In the US, I had to pay about 50 USD per Month on T-Mobile. It would have been more if I actually told them I had a smartphone ("Nah, I've got an old Nokia, I just want to be able to get eMails").

#6This is actually huge news as it marks the beginning of what many of us feared and destroys future entrpeneurship. I have no idea why the FCC decided mobile Internet should allow these practices.

#7And so it begins. The only way this won't run rampant is an immediate consumer backlash.

I’m shocked by how expensive mobile internet is in the US. I’m with giffgaff here in the UK, and I pay £10/month for 250 calling minutes, unlimited SMS and unlimited internet (no fair use policy).

#9Blocking sites because they're "not on the service plan" is likely to be much more acceptable in western countries than explicit censorship, as in Iran or China. It's authoritarianism dressed up as commercialism. In the post-Wikileaks era my bet is that governments will either encourage, or at least not do anything to hinder, the erection of walled gardens which make it more difficult for the average internet user to get access to unauthorised sources of content. The next decade could see a return to the Compuserve-like internet services which existed in the 1990s.

They already solved that problem. Backlash-ing costs you $250.
