Re: Ed Whitacre Needs New Shoes

Exactly. You pay for hosting (just like all the other big content providers) and, in turn, your hosting ISP pays whoever it is that connects them for their own bandwidth. The way AT&T and all the other incumbents talk, it's like the content providers are getting totally free and open access to their pipes which is a load of crap. All this boils down to is the fact that they want to find any way they can to ~~milk~~ ~~shakedown~~ squeeze a few extra million out of people and other companies.

Of course they're not getting totally free and open access to the pipes. They're getting free and open access to the _TUBES_. Don't you keep up on current events?

Whitacre complained that “some people” want AT&T to act as a “dumb pipe that just keeps getting bigger and bigger."

Hey Ed, if you wonder why people are expecting SBC/AT&T to act like a big dumb pipe, maybe you should look in the mirror!
