I'd think it's more likely "imminent change in the fundamental nature of 
the net from free co-operative sharing of resources in a reasonable manner" 
to a "you want it? You pay for it!" situation due to the net.abusers out 
there who can't seem to get it through their head that services provided out 
of the good will of others who are paying the bill for their services can 
pull the plug just like that if their good will is abused once too often.
