Re: If the sky falls, can I hide on your property? We are indeed planted on different sides of the fence.
I don't quibble with the concept of charging extra for premium service. I just don't think you can do that and claim that some lesser service is your "best effort".
As for the relevance to rural ILECs, I identified a specific rural case (Volcano Telephone) where ISP related discrimination happened. I also identified various other ILEC schemes over the years to eliminate competitors. It's not just SBC. Most rural ILECs act similarly, and VZ, BS, and Qwest all fall in line.
Finally, that famous Shakespeare quote is widely read two very different ways. Dick the Butcher speaks it in Henry VI, Part 2 as part of a discussion about overthrowing the government and installing their own supposed utopia. Some read it as part of the utopia, and some read it as part of the things which must be done to overthrow the government and install yourself as dictator. We probably sit on different sides of this fence, as well.
