Yes, the CURRENT conversation is about mobile. How many years has the public been in an uproar about this issue in general? This is an obvious major potential revenue stream for the providers, yet now... they are framing this as just applying to mobile traffic and we are all saying "oh, okay, well that seems reasonable." Why would they stop there? THIS IS FREE MONEY. They want to charge us for something we get for free currently, why would they stop, once a precedent has been set in this scenario?
