Paying to provide access?

Should mega-sites pay ISP for letting people access their sites?

Pay up, or you’re blocked: Indian ISPs tell US megasites: America’s biggest content providers could face a toll to enter India cyberspace, if plans mooted by the Indian ISP trade association bear fruit. ... Traditional bricks and mortar producers have to sweeten the distribution channels, so why not MSN? And with foreign steel companies now paying an additional tariff to enter the US market, isn’t this a simple reciprocation?

Personally, I’m not in favor of this idea. But, is this not similar to paying for having a 1-800 number? Slashdot has a discussion on this.
