Is AT&T Honoring its Merger Commitments, Part 3

In the original post, I noted that a 50 pound striped bass somewhere out in the ocean is not an offer of fish. John Quarterman, amusingly posts this reply and amplification, entitled AT&T's Striped Bass.

John's parting shot is unfortunate wishful thinking. He write that things won't improve . . . "Unless we get net neutrality regulations, or more competition, or both." When we got more competition -- remember the CLECs of the late 90s? -- the telcos gutted it. When we got a merger commitment, AT&T and BellSouth are burying the parts they don't like. And when we get a Network Neutrality law, guess how they'll honor it.

If we want a neutral Internet, we will need more than a Network Neutrality law.

Yo! AT&T! Like this:
