If an ISP wanted to make *all* online free-knowledge resources exempt
from per-MB data charges, that would be a much more interesting
proposal. It's the differential pricing between different sources of
knowledge that I find more troubling: why should a user pay more to
access the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy than Wikipedia? That's
already attempting to shape, via differential pricing, where online
users get their information.
