This is going to become dirtier the longer the current recession lasts. If ISPs start to band together, things could even come nastier. As Esteluk said on BBC's blog, "asking the BBC to pay BT for content that they host would set a dangerous precedent for the Internet as a whole". Could the likes of Google and Microsoft start snapping up shares in Telecoms company to keep them mum?
