The AT&T's out there are not wanting to offer internet any more. They are trying to undo what's already been done.
I agree with you 100%. Although I know Congress will fail here (and we are starting to see this, I was so tempted to post a "See I Told You So" msg), I would like to see a law passed that specifically disallows ISPs from downgrading or blocking traffic between their customers and content providers because those content providers didn't pay the bribe fee.

As for ISPs being allowed to build extra pipes so they can offer their own content or services... this isn't a problem at all provided that ISPs don't get away with restricting their customer's ability to access competitors.

This isn't about ISP's (internet service providers); this is about ILEC's (incumbent local exchange carriers). More specifically, this is about AT&T (formerly SBC), Verizon and BellSouth.
