Re: The internet is not a utility;it's a business like any other That's conjecture for the most part. Well never know what would have happened because DarpaNet didn't become an open world wide web till after Bell was broke up. |

Re: Internet is an Information Age Utility said by bogey780:Interesting analogies. Does the gov't allow anyone to use an airport as they see fit? ... One thing the government certainly DOESN'T do is allow some private corporation to handle the routing and control at an airport in a manner calculated to enhance the private corporation's own profits....

Re: The internet is not a utility;it's a business like any other said by bogey780:Network neutrality has nothing to do with blocking or limiting access. It's simple routing issues. Something a lot of people simply don't want even though there are clear benefits to the technology. .... Ya.... like giving access to SBC Homepage super high priority, while routing bandwidth to sites like Teletruth thru a straw so hardly anyone can reach it or access it.
Simple routing issues, indeed.

Well, the part about Bell being madly in love with ISDN is fact. The rest may be conjecture, but it's GOOD conjecture!
