Euro-telcos call on big tech to help pay for their network builds

Odd...

So, let me get this straight... those big tech companies all have connections peering into the ISP networks. Those connections have a fee charged by the ISP to exist. Some of those big tech companies also pay to have such connections and then pay to host arrays of their servers in ISP data centres to allow better service for those ISPs' customers.

We as consumers pay ISPs to connect to their networks also.

So, as far as I can ISPs are already being paid at least twice for the data that ends up getting to us, the consumer.

If that still isn't enough, surely they should simply be charging more somewhere? Rather than demanding new, separate, fees?
