I don't think they have a point.. They are offering a service that allows people to go online to different websites and so on. Their subscribers pay to use this service already. Now they want to double dip and also charge websites a fee so their sites can be accessed by Verizon users.

If they can't afford to run a ISP while charging $50 a month for a subscription, then maybe they should get out of the ISP business.

Web company already pay for servers and their bandwitdh why should they have to pay a toll to Verizon as well?
