Re: Stupid move... yeah i suppose. i can't blame a cellular phone carrier trying to block another phone carrier using 'their' phone and network. i'm not sure how to say it but, a cellular network is more aimed at making phone calls, not a general internet protal.
i'm not so sure about the net neutrality issue though. ATT is not simply providing access to the internet, but built (in way or another, considering the merger with cingular) a huge wireless network that they own and intend to be used to provide phone service by ATT. maybe this will signify a change in thinking of cellular networks, from solely phone with some niceties like internet to just a huge wireless internet portal. i'm sort of siding with ATT on this, but only weakly. |
