I think ISP's do want to charge their customers what it actually costs 
to provide them with a service, but they can't because many ISP's 
business models are based purely on undercutting their nearest competitor.

I might be naive and hopeful to think that operators will have a blood 
handshake to set prices where customers can't wag the tail.
