Can somebody please explain me how this is a slap in the face to Sony?? I don't get it...

its a slap in the face because not only can MS charge for what should be free( according to some people), but they can increase the fee for it and people will still pay. Of course that is because its such a great service (at least in my opinion, worth every penny even after the increase.

Sony, Nintendo or any other company "can" do what ever they want. They just dont think it would be a wise business decision. 

No, any company can only do what its customers want. How many ps3 owners will pay $50 a year to play online? How many would jump ship to the 360 than. Sony is still beholden to its stock holders, they have to turn profit or their stock holders will change things. They think its a bad decision cause they know they would loose customers.
