Re: Can we get off it please?

said by twill1989:

Come on...I know this isn't going to be a popular view around here, but come on. At the end of the day, it's AT&T's network. Why in the hell would they allow a competitor to operate on its network and undercut their own service? Essentially, what everyone is wanting is to use the AT&T network without having to pay AT&T. If Vonage wants to get involved in the mobile phone game, they need to make a phone that operates completely off of Wi-Fi or build their own network.

Sorry but saying AT&T should let Vonage and other VOIP providers use their network is like saying UPS should ship Fed-Ex packages on their trucks and make sure they get there faster than UPS packages.

I realize AT&T is a big bad company that nobody likes, but lets criticize them where they deserve it: the quality of their network. Not nonissues like this.
Data is data. If I pay for an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T, why should they care that those packets are voice, video, or porn?

They shouldn't yet they do. No one is trying to get a service for free, but AT&T shouldn't be able to dictate what type of data you can send unless they can prove it degrades the network, which VoIP doesn't.
