That may be changing. I caught a quick glimpse on Fox news a few days back that there is some sort of regulation in the works. A pay by meg. type of thing or a download on demand. If so that will hurt the porn bus. May not go any where but in this econ. who knows???????????????

Well, FoxNews is so reliable.
The FCC is working on a project to make high speed Internet available to everyone. That is contrary to this statement of regulations to make you pay more for downloads.
Unfortunately, recently, Comcast won an argument that prevents the FCC from interfering with Comcast's internet company. In other words, with this loss, there is potential for the loss of Net Neutrality. What it means is that Comcast, not the government (through regulations) can dictate what you can and can't see on-line. If you want to view videos on demand, Comcast would prefer you use their own services rather than Netflix or Hulu or others. So if there is any extra charges for downloading anything, it will come from the ISPs, not from any government regulations.
Now, would Comcast be dumb enough to set itself up like this? As you say, who knows? But it isn't a good sign.
