Financial services taking an interest in net neutrality?

Speaking of net neutrality, Wired News notes that some of the financial services firms are suddenly noticing that the lack of net neutrality protection in the upcoming telecom bill could result in them paying new access fees. The article notes that they almost missed the issue because it was being duked out in the commerce instead of the banking committees.

I think the most interesting point here is that interest in Internet policy, access, and fees is no longer restricted to the telecom and consumer industries. I believe that this issue will become much more visible -- and subject to more lobbying too -- once it emerges from committee onto the floor of the House and Senate next week.
