Forget paying per gigabyte, trying paying per site. This awesome infographic shows us in no uncertain terms what your Internet access pricing will look like, should the enemies of net neutrality have their way.

Internet service providers always claim rising network maintenance costs to justify high prices, slow speeds, lousy coverage, and onerous restrictions on your Internet access. And yet, here they are refusing to take Obama’s $4.7 billion broadband stimulus package, now admitting they’re actually flush with cash.
