you will pay through increased ISP subscription costs. however, its still highly likely that this just causes ISPs to abandon new infrastructure improvements at their edges. either way its a terrible day for the internet.

for real though if the pipes get too clogged with porn wouldn't this just make the big providers lease more space in carrier datacenters for CDN's and junk

also does any of this have any chance of changing anything in the next 5 years
