[citation][nom]mhch[/nom]I disagree with most comments, thinking yes this makes sense cos' companies should pay for the resources they need as a basis of their own business, Google and facebook would not exist if Internet providers did not exist.[/citation]
Wrong. These companies are key to the telecom data business staying afloat. If the telecoms suddenly decided "Hey everyone that offers our customers everything they want, you can sit and spin", they wouldn't have any more customers. Google, Facebook, and Apple will continue to have customers, because they are providing the services they've agreed to. (In fact, facebook and google haven't agreed to anything).
The telecoms throw money away on lavish expenses and worthless boardroom filler, and it has built them an unsustainable business model. They should have instead been building a network framework that could handle the data load that they knew was going to fall on them. (Moore's law has yet to be disproven) They screwed up, and now they want American companies to bail them out of trouble.
They won't get a dime. And IMO, they're better off going out of business and being sold off to the highest bidder that would 'hopefully' build instead of leech.
