I think they'd face quite a bit of customer backlash if they did that...

It could really happen, too. There's no democracy anymore.
And when it happens, we will find another way around the problem.

I think it would gut the MMORPG industry and general gaming industry.

Those industries, combined, are larger than the entire telecommunications industry.

I think as it came closer to fruition, companies like Sony, Konami, Square-Enix, CCP, LL, Bethesda, Bioware, Bungie, and Microsoft would swoop in and stripmine the telecom industry by establishing subsidiaries that provided old-world internet service.
