Its unrealistic to believe payment for priority access isn't going to happen
this model is used for many other outlets today I'm not sure why so many are
against it when it comes to net access.

This genie has long since escaped the bottle, hasn't it? I remember the voip
wars of the
late 90's where there was lots and lots and lots of hand wringing about qos...
but how much
penetration does RSVP have, say? Approximately zero? And that's because, in
reality, voice is
a tiny fraction of net traffic and all of the visions of RSVP and AAL2 and
TCRTP and all
of the rest of the crazy things have basically come to naught. Does Skype care
about qos? It
doesn't even care about RTP.
So the new bete noir is video and it's easier to be seduced because the traffic
volumes are
potentially horrific. But i'll place my money on the bet that by the time any
scheme to wring
money out of that volume could be implemented, the pipes transporting it will
be asking what
all the hand wringing is about. Just like voice. The human and technological
complications
of grafting qos/settlement on top of the net are huge in comparison to stuffing
more bits into
glass.
