The information superhighway should be like any other service, if you want something more than the basic, you PAY FOR IT.

UPS, ground is one charge, RED is MORE.

I have absolutely no problem with the service providers saying that if you want more bandwidth or faster service, you pay for it.

while I completely agree with the capitalist premise, in this case (emergency situation), I can only view it as gouging a resource that has limited funds.....

In a case like this when dealing with emergency services, I'm sure deals can be made to make sure they have the data if necessary.

Other than that, let the market decide.

again, I completely agree with the latter.....

however, when the former needs that access, it doesn't cost a dayum thing to the provider to flip that switch.....that's when it becomes gouging....
