Re: one that day comes..
AT&T owns some of the internet backbones; a large percentage of internet traffic goes through AT&T control points. (That's why they were/are in a good position to spy for the Feds.) And in one article today a spokesperson said AT&T might offer Hollywood companies filtering that would affect traffic of other providers. |

| If you could prove that some legitimate video was filtered out by ATT, when you're not an ATT subscriber and didn't agree to their Terms of Service, then theoretically you could have grounds for a lawsuit - interference with contract, or something of that sort.
Realistically however, I think the only thing that will really have a chance is Congress imposing some sort of network neutrality law, or making the FCC do so. |
