Re: You smell that?
Should of seen it coming. The "new" (Same-old) at&t has a LONG history of demanding special privileges and exemptions before building out network capacity. For example in Oklahoma at&t (then SBC) refused to build out DSL networks and put DSLAMS in until the state removed them from jurisdiction of Oklahoma's Corporation Commission--- effectively granting them a state sanctioned telephone monopoly
Now, this is just more of the same extended nationwide. "We cannot add capacity until we're granted legal exemptions from Federal requirements like Net Neutrality or Fair access.... Until we have it our way we're going to sit on our hands and blame the chaos on our opposition."
If at&t pulls this crap, maybe some politicians will grow some balls and start proceedings to break up at&t again
