True, I don’t think EU regulators are looking at US telecom to pay here but service providers like Netflix. Any privately owned telecom will have the same problems that Charter has, but I don’t see a big problem with making billion dollar companies pay when their traffic is effectively being subsidized by tax payers otherwise. At least in the US telecoms are crowding out small and disruptive businesses by prioritizing traffic for big providers and passing the cost onto customers of the telecom instead of the business.
