RE: THIS IS GREAT- ESP. SINCE AT&T, COMCAST, +OTHER

THIS IS GOOD...... ESPECIALLY SINCE AT&T, COMCAST, VERIZON AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT REVERSING INTERNET NEUTRALITY LAWS AND DO THINGS LIKE BLOCK A CUSTOMER'S RIGHT TO ACCESS "YOU TUBE" BECAUSE IT CAUSES TOO MUCH TRAFFIC ON 'THEIR INTERNET' AS THEY SAY. FEEL FREE TO GOOGLE "AT&T AND NET NEUTRALITY" AND SEE ALL THE HITS ON AT&T'S TOP BRASS ASKING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CENSOR PARTS OF THE INTERNET.

IF A CUSTOMER PAYS FOR INTERNET- THEY'VE SATISFIED THEIR OBLIGATION. IF GOOGLE ALREADY IS PAYING A COMPANY TO MOVE THAT BANDWIDTH ACROSS SOMEONE ELESES BACKBONE THEY'VE TOO SATISFIED THEIR OBLIGATION. WHAT FOOLISHNESS IS THIS THAT AT&T SHOULD BE ABLE TO DOUBLE CHARGE THE CONSUMER TO GOTO GOOGLE, OR SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXTORT MONEY FROM GOOGLE BECAUSE THEY ARE POPULAR AND AT&T WOULD RATHER GIVE THE TRAFFIC TO THEIR OWN "AT&T VIDEO" SERVICE OR A PARTNER WHICH THEY HAVE A VESTED INTREST FOR FREE.
