Interesting you should bring this up, gasparrini. Here’s what AT&T is up to now (and does it surprise anyone?) —

I am tempted to say, “George Bush should die in a terrorist attack … God is Great!” every time I pick up the phone.

It seems to me that this is what the “Net Neutrality” issue is mainly about. AT&T is doing this to keep competing content streams (legal or not) from passing thru their network (in spite of their customers paying for that passage!), in order that their own proprietary content streams will make more money (even if they’re now ready yet, in all markets). Unfortunately, “Net Neutrality” is a confusing term. It should have been “Net Free Enterprise”, or “Net Fair Passage”. “Neutrality” has to be explained too often, in this context. What AT&T is doing is the 21th century equiva;ent of the 18th century Stamp Act. Only, instead of charging a tax for goods, not sold by the British Crown, AT&T just limits of blocks you getting competing services and content.
