But there's no way you can force wireless internet wide open and not make everyone suffer for it.

At least until, as was stated, LTE spreads its wings.]]>Sep 22nd 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/
Restricting access is completely different and the wireless providers should be held to the same accountability as everyone else. If I got over the limits accessing the site I want, that's on me, but no provider should provide a sub-par experience because I'm not hitting a preferred site.

Besides, if AT&T was really worried about bandwidth limits, they'd stop selling iPhones.]]>Sep 22nd 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/
Since ISP's/carriers mostly have caps on data, historical data on usage as well as speed cap, can they not do capacity planning to ensure they have the capacity for the number of users they sign up!!!

I am in Canada, I hope our government take similar stand with carriers]]>Sep 22nd 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/Sep 22nd 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/
That's all well and good, assuming the big four's policies actually differ from one another. Where do you turn when all 4 of them decide to restrict or cripple a certain type of data?]]>Sep 22nd 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/Sep 22nd 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/Sep 22nd 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/

The newly acquired 700Mhz spectrum also cost big money. The license costs have to be recouped while building out the new network infrastruture. This all costs billions on dollars.


So who is going to front AT&T and VZW the money to build these networks out? Ideas are often good theoretically. But implementation of them involves being pratical. Mass coverage of LTE is years off for most of the country. ]]>Sep 22nd 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/atandt-verizon-poised-to-fight-fccs-net-neutrality-stance-on-the/Sep 22nd 2009 9:00PM
