This way they can charge a reasonable rate. Who knows, they are already negotiating for a slice of trans-Pacific fiber cable.

They've never been known to do "evil" like that, and I hope that they never will. If they ever become some kind of monopolistic force like MS, I wouldn't mind as long they don't become "evil".
