Re: How It Not Open ? No but you can throttle and or cap a service into uselessness.
Maybe that's what's being discussed here....

Mount Airy, MD | said by wentlanc:No but you can throttle and or cap a service into uselessness. But you can still purchase uncapped, unthrottled service if you are willing to pay for it. Perhaps dedicated and guaranteed Internet service, like a T1, might be more appropriate for people who would not like to have capped or throttled Internet.

Falsely elevating the prices of services to hinder growth of that service is bad enough. Like everyone has said numerous times, this is to stifle their own need to invest and compete. Proven by the move by Time Warner to open a video store, and not count it against their cap.

I agree with you that insanely low caps are ridiculous, and I practiced what I preached when I dropped AT&T's internet service for my phone when they introduced a 5MB cap on my data plan.
But as I pointed out, other options are out there if you are willing to pay the money. If things were that bad, then even these options would not exist.
