Re: Restricted Internet Service

said by baineschile:

A pro-consumer, mildly naive point of view.

If I invest all this money in my infastructure, I should be able to generally dictate what goes on with it, and suspend people if they abuse it. If they dont like that, face the free market, where they can go to a different provider that may have more options for that consumer as far as bandwidth consumption.
NOTE: Ignoring your uncalled for insult.

Abuse is very different then dictating which services you can use on an similar, but competitive, Internet based application. If you offer an Internet service, the data services bits are normally considered just bits. The wireless carriers are being very specific about restricting competitive Internet based services on an Internet product offering.

One persons "abuse" is another "capacity issue" or another "business model failure".

So if you do a friend a favor and allow him to more into your home for some small amount and the friend then invites 10 of the people he knows to move in and he is charging enough to make a nice profit. Well your power, water and food bill are draining you bank account but you and your friend signed a contract and you were not allowed do anything about it.
