More like it's just hyped up so that they can make us pay higher monthly bills?

Its not that, the industry is making it easier to shut down any IP that is accused of pirating which means that if someone pirates using a public hotspot the whole network could end up being shut down by the telcos. Which just happens to help Verizons bottom line because people who were relying on free wifi might now be forced to pay for a wireless data plan.
