OT: two tier Internet and open source

[ryanag at zoominternet.net (ryan)]

My initial thought is that it would be BAD, BAD, BAD for open source software.

However, Microsoft and Apple (hardly open source software companies) have far 
more to lose. People would be upset if their itunes or xbox streams suddenly 
slowed down by 50%. The open source crowd would take it a little better I 
imagine.
