Re: gimme a break
said by guitarzan  :F. All this at no extra or hidden fees to customers.Let AT&T pay out their azz for this,Since it's apparent that's where their ideas are originating from.When AT&T puts all this in writing on stone, then SBC/AT&T customers have a good deal.  When was the last time the TELEPHONE COMPANY didn't squirrel in a hidden fee to bump their price up.

AT&T customers should only agree to this so called internet cloud scheme if the following is guaranteed in an iron clad contract with no tiny print or built in TOS escape clauses by ATT&T.
A. All Google and/or Video or content is reached on the 4th hop on a tracert with a max of no more than 25ms.
B.Absolutely no downtime or snafu's on customers connection.
C.The sync rate is raised to guarantee Maximum advertised speed or above is reached 24/7 .Higher down/up speed is never less than what customers purchase.IE.. 3mb down = 3.2
D.A healthy fat pipe with no restrictions, port blocking,no traffic shaping or filters.
E.Guaranteed no bottlenecks on AT&T lines or in the internet cloud or on the redback routers or UUNET.Nor On Google's end or anyplace else for that matter
F. All this at no extra or hidden fees to customers.Let AT&T
pay out their azz for this,Since it's apparent that's where their ideas are originating from.When AT&T puts all this in writing on stone, then SBC/AT&T customers have a good deal.

Lets see... a company which charges you on both local + long distance (SBC + AT&T) from a somewhat regulated environment wants to impose its business logic on an unregulated market. Not going to work.
SBC gets you on the locally regulated line, AT&T gets you on the LD portion.
They wish to apply that kind of logic to the web...
They charge you the consumer for the connection to the DSL/DSLAM (local), then try to charge someone else for the backbone (LD) so that they make money and don't pay for anything. |

These Telco CEO's need a little bit of cheese to go with their "whine".
What a bunch of greedy imbecilic morons. Google pays for their bandwidth as do Google's customers. Either the CEO's should figure that out or get into another line of work pronto.

Yeah, really.
If these telcos thought that the Internet didn't have a high enough profit margin for them, they shouldn't have started ISPs. If by some rediculous reason they actually try this and the cable services don't, it'll only take one sentence to convince everyone I know on DSL to get off. "AT&T is slowing down Google for you unless you give them more of your money."
