Well regardless there is a law or not: The airlines got a substantial amount of money and this has been so for years. In Europe this is common as well. I'm not saying it is nice. To add insult to injury: European ISP's will most likely be faced with the requirement to store all internet traffic (not the content but who does what and when) for years. The government to pay totally nothing. I guess this is a new trend
