If ponies are being handed out, count me in. Sure, market forces can do lots of strange things, for example, see our current position. Pretty much any scheme breaks terribly when there is a monopoly, since the only company involved gets to remove the relationship between cost and profit.

What the upstream "wants" and what market forces will decide could be very different. And as customers "want" lower internet access costs, if Comcast can collect more money from upstreams then they can lower the rates for customers, gain more customers, and be in an even better position to squeeze money out of upstreams. jc
