1 edit | It's cheaper than upgrading They show a lack of vision for the future, even though it's smacking them in the face.
Most people are already getting tired of police state paranoia and nanny state restrictions and no amount of lobbying or buying politicians is going to change that.
The future is BIG pipes delivering content as fast as a powered fire hose.
Filtering will allow them to keep their capacity higher without having to invest in added equipment and lines.
While they waste their money on VDSL and filtering staying in the slow boat internet, others are flying the jet plane broadband. They really will be the Slowski's of the US.
Maybe they are counting on their regional territory's to keep them afloat forever. That would be a mistake, they need to remember that they serve the public.
This is America! not Nazi Germany or USSR KGB police state.
Quote from Mr. Wu's article:
"Even China's Internet, whose performance suffers greatly from its filtering, doesn't go as far as what AT&T is proposing."
The only things they should be filtering, are Spam and Viruses, which even now, they cannot do 100%.

North Royalton, OH | But China is filtering out what they dont want their people to see, they could care less about piracy(unless it was the governement they were stealing from) In this case, they are trying to protect themselves from lawsuits and the hassle of dealing with the RIAA.
Im sick of hearing about people complaining about what China does, they are a communist government, they want to control what goes on there, its their way, not ours, quit complaning!!!!
About the comment about police state and KGB, Maybe I missed where this filtering has anything to do with out government? This is a public company doing this, if you dont like what they are doing, dont give that company any of your money. | |

This has to be approved by the government before they can do that, and laws have to be changed.
I don't think it's a co-incidence that AT&T and the US top spy want the same thing and that both are testing the waters of the public to see if they can get support for it.
It makes me wonder who the real author of both policy's is.
