 | AT&T Full of it again... I love how they distort this.
Nowhere has anyone ever said they can't manage their network as needed. They distort the extent it is needed and they distort their intentions on how they are going to manage it.
First off, a network only needs to be truly managed as they want when there is major congestion. Which is not the case and their way would even encourage it to be that way as pointed out.
Second, creating a pay for priority model for anyone whether it be consumers or the companies benefits no one but them. If they do their jobs as the dumbpipes they are and pass a packet as they receive a packet as fast as they can, then all of this is a none issue. Them trying to make themselves relevant in content, when they have nothing to do with content is what this is all about. They realize all we need them for is DHCP and TCP/IP transport and beyond the connection and the speed of our connection they mean nothing to the consumer and that scares them. |
