What do you think of access points that are free for Google (or Facebook, or as I've seen in the past, Skype) but cost money if you want to use any other part of the internet? I call it the not-so-thin edge of the wedge, and am not sanguine about the potential for a (very) proprietary internet to emerge from such initiatives. What happens when AT&T gets it in mind to make searching through Bing cheaper on its mobile network than searching on Google? What stops them from charging hefty premiums to access content they don't like (like this post, say)?
