FCC Chief Kevin Martin yesterday gave his support to AT&T and other telcos who want to be able to limit bandwidth to sites like Google, unless those sites pay fees. Martin made it clear in a speech yesterday that he supports such a a “tiered” Internet.

If this story is true, I am very disappointed and worried about the future of the Internet.
This is a subject I’ve posted a number of times. I’ll continue to look for developments.
