There was a fascinating discussion about this issue last week on NPR. The discussion got pretty heated at times. It is hard to have an objective opinion about the issue when I'm working for an organization that can't possibly pay for faster data download times and one that doesn't really have a use for such a service in any case. We aren't building complex web apps.

My ex-employer would have had a different stance since they did develop complex web-delivered apps, but they certainly had no money to pay for such a service either.

I'm rather conflicted about the issue, but I CAN see where big companies could certainly abuse this service.
