Of course it won't. But Verizon has shown many times that it doesn't care about the customer experience.
We (paying Verizon customers) pay for access to those websites. Those websites pay their own connection fees. Other networks either mutually peer free or pay to connect.
On top of all that Verizon wants to charge another arbitrary fee.
If Verizon really wants to take ownership of what travels over their network then I hope they get sued and held responsible for every instance of illegal download, child pornography, hacking, etc. Right now they have immunity in that regard because they only freely transfer the content of others.
Verizon is planning to block websites from their customers if websites don't pay them a fee. Think of how damaging this will be to small start-ups.
