> Oh, and if you try to make the argument that you are justified in using ad blockers because that bandwidth costs you money and other people agree with you, then you can say goodbye to net neutrality. Except that I'm the one paying for the traffic, through my ISP. If carriers complain that there's too much traffic for the money they're paid, that's an issue of not charging the user enough for the service being provided. I can always pay more money for more quota. I still can not understand the mentality of US mobile service providers who just give you one-price-fits-all service. They're selling a limited resource (i.e.: consumption of broadcast bandwidth), but don't charge the heavy users more than the light users. It's foolishness like that that makes ISPs start thinking about charging high volume content originators for use of their network. If I choose to not download certain parts of your web site (e.g.: the JavaScript and third party resources), that's my way of controlling costs. It's not up to my ISP to make that decision for me (much less start charging content providers for the privilege of transit).
