Its sad they have to do this to monetize. But they wanted to build a centralized platform, not a distributed service.
A single point of congestion on the Internet so that they could retain their control, and now they're paying for it. They could have just been a federation provider, and one of many equal-level service providers. It would have scaled much, much, much better while offloading costs onto others.
Oh well. Thats where we are on the Internet today. Its all about the control a signal, centralized, web-centric offering gives rather than the service it provides to the users.
