I don't want to say so much that your thread ends up getting moved to the Politics/Religion board, so the short answer is that not much will change.  The real dilemna is that anybody can put up a website and allow hugh music and video downloads and start a business.  But, who is going to pay for all that bandwidth across the web so that customers can actually download your stuff.  So, the hobby won't be impacted until or unless the bandwidth involved changes substantially.

Whomever connects whatever to the internet has to pay for a connection and they are priced based on bandwidth. This is BS argument as far as I am concerned. Telephone companies are supposed to build backbone network bandwidth based how much bandwidth is coming in, it is called traffic engineering.

I say, charge more not control the content. I never believed anything should be free, nothing is free. I don't buy it because I worked for the biggest telco in the world for 20 years and my area of specialty was traffic analysis and engineering.
