The original AP article is really funny. It is VERY one sided and written by a "free the web for everything" sort of treehugger that has to make you wonder.
Comcast and other ISPs provide bandwidth to their customers for their own personal non-commercial use. What sites like skype, bit torrent, joost, and many others do is turn the users computers into nodes and profit from that bandwidth to run their products. If a few major ISPs started to block out Skype packets, example, they would likely die off within a very short period of time.
Bandwidth leech companies will all face a day of reckoning sometime in the near future, as ISPs will move to flick the switch.
