internet providers charge us for showing contents of webpages. Suppose you are accessing yahoo answer pages and your ISP is charging you on data transfer basis, it means that he might be paying yahoo to download its webpages.
in otherwords yahoo is simply getting paid for showing its contents. If it is so then why "yahoo hosting" service charges us for hosting our site on its servers? evenwhen yahoo knows it will also get paid by ISPs when someone will access our website

It is advertising that fuels the internet, and where the money is. Yahoo is not an internet service provider (ISP) as is your local telephone company, cable etc.. Yahoo itself is free to use, and makes its money because of advertising. When somebody does a search, and clicks on a link, the link it takes you to is the person or company paying for each click (a few cents, but it ads up). The entire internet works that way. This is the same as free television which has shows that sponsor through commercials.
Of course, nothing is ultimately free. The consumer pays for this advertising when purchasing a product or service. It is marketing costs.
AOL has lost so much of its business trying to be an internet service provider, but can no longer provide unique content to get people to pay for this. They are switching to free email and a free homepage, with the hopes of users clicking through them to increase revenue.
If you have a product or business, and are looking to increase traffic to your web site, their are public relations companies that can specifically set things up so your name comes up in the top ten searches. Of course you pay for the service, and more for the click. Precision Communications in the Atlanta area does exactly that (happens to be my brother!)
Be well

Call your old ISP and tell them once again, you no longer want their services. Also, send them a certified letter. Take a copy of this letter to your bank, ask to talk to someone other than a teller. Advise them that you have been loosing money and are closing the loose ends. If the bank sees fit to pay this ISP again from your account, an attorney will be in contact with the bank.
