Re: Clue Truck coming down the road...

So AT&T wants to be paid for the following:

1) The DSL users who pay AT&T.
2) The Data Center or Content Provider who buys OC-VeryFast from AT&T.
3) The Content Provider who pays AT&T for prioritization to the DSL customer.
4) The people AT&T has peering agreements with because more data is moving across their network.
I think you could just summarize it like this:

So AT&T wants to be paid by the following:

1) Every single human being on earth
.... unless they are AT&T Management.

Was not AT&T the one that said if you want to serve his customers, you will have to pay extra? Or was that another telco?

True, but the new subs are, nonetheless, still coming in.

Either way, the use is due to progress (for all), rather than a specific scapegoatted minority. Cost of business and all that.
