|  Imagine how net neutrality will interact with blue room?
This is the perfect example of why net neutrality has to remain intact. Blue room will grow and with netneutrality, are you going to pay a nickel to search on google or search on blue room for free? Are you going to pay a nickel for ebay or use blue room for free? What ever your favorite site is, are you going to pay for it or use the crappy AT&T knock off for free?
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF AT&T TAKING OVER INTERNET CONTENT.!!!! And this is not good for anyone except for AT&T.  |

| blueroom looks about the same to me...
bunch of music, live concerts, archives...
it's not a search engine...
still, agree that neutrality should remain in effect. one should be able to stream their content, or yahoo's, or some underground band, or all of 'em at once if you have the bandwidth... |

It hasn't happened yet... but it'll make the Internet into another AOL... you will be owned. Your content will be logged, as only access will be through proxied connections, and any app to the Internet other than http will be banned as it may cause legal issues. All email MUST go through their smtp relays, and will be screened/filtered for Spam (with exception of spam that they pay off to AT&T).
Free/open Internet is going away. |

| I'm glad someone else recognizes how serious this is. I think your accurate that it will be like aol.com. And there will be no recourse because as consumers, your only choice is an ILEC.
I still don't understand why more people are not taking note of this. |
