| Re: gimme a break 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."

| Re: gimme a break 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. | |

| 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.
