Internet users face congestion charge

Technology: Britain 'could be next' as US businesses seek pay-for-speed scheme.

And then what happens when people decide not to route through areas that have a two tier system? Could those areas actually become internet backwaters, where users simply don't go unless they have to to avoid paying charges?
And then it is of course possible that some US telcos will use the lack of a two tier system as a selling point, meaning that parts of the US there will be two tier, and other parts it will be as it is now, with an open system. Confusion reigns.
