The carriers' had a choice to make: invest to increase capacity (plenty of technology exists for this) or invest in equipment to restrict customers' access to net services. They chose the latter. The carriers' primary argument against Net Neutrality was that they would never do such a thing. Now we are seeing that at the same time as they were issuing their deinals they were probably installing this hardware to restrict customers' access. Now, after getting caught, they say it is for our own good. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
