Re: Begining of the 2 tier network access plan?
What I meant was that "preferred providers" would continue to pull at the curent everyone package speed, but with no decrease in price, everyone else would be capped at a lower rate. I don't see them uncapping anything, just finding another way to charge a premium from certain providers just to give the consumer the same speed we are getting now.

I think you'll see pigs fly before you see that happen. The goal is for them to get more customers and revenue, not less. They've already as much as said that they would offer higher/uncapped speeds to the preferred providers.
They have been offering higher speeds at a lower price lately...this would allow them to have an even better offering, but with some revenue attached to it. And everybody is happy- customer gets a better product, 3rd party gets a customer, and AT&T gets more revenue. |
