Feds seek middle ground in Net neutrality feud

You do realize: that what the telecom companies want to do is charge you the consumer for using something like Skype. If you're not paying them to for the use of a program to which they have no license or right then they want the ability to degrade your network connection to the point the program is unusable. I would suggest that is their right only when they aren't a monopoly in any area they service. In other words there is at least one other set of competing backbone infrastructure usable by every consumer. Otherwise this is just a blatant attempt by a monopoly to use the strength of that monopoly to force it's way into a market place where it can't compete by any other means.; Posted by: maldain Posted on: 02/14/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
