Re: I dont get it

Yeah, I certainly don't mean to drag up net neutrality arguments.

I was more thinking that allowing Skype onto their network didn't damage their physical network per se, but it does do damage to their financial network.

I guess I'm asking why AT&T can't restrict access to their network by competitive forces?

So, should Comcast & AT&T be able to block access to netflix and youtube for their residential broadband customers, since they provide competing services?

Simple answer: Because they are a dumbpipe and just don't know it yet.
