Verizon claims common carrier rules would require Web services to pay ISPs

(Ars): http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/07/verizon-claims-common-carrier-rules-would-require-web-services-to-pay-isp/

   "Verizon is making an alarmist argument in its response to the
    Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality proposal.
    Classification of broadband as a common carrier service -- a step
    called for by public interest groups who want to prevent ISPs from
    charging Web services for faster access to consumers -- would instead
    require ISPs to charge Netflix, YouTube, and other Web services
    for network access, Verizon claims."

In related news, Verizon claims they'd also be required to provide 
all subscribers with free ponies.
