One recalls a few years ago, in the Net Neutrality proceedings of the FCC,
Google and Verizon settled on the idea that the "Wireless" was not the
Internet, and Wireless providers would escape any rules that were worked out
for the Internet accessed in any other way (fiber, cable, dialup).
Once upon a time, the Internet was created to maximize interoperability of all
communications. Now we see a "faux Internet" being offered by Wireless
operators: pick-and-choose-what-your-customers-will-see.
I'm sure there are all kinds of "good reasons" for selective blocking of
user-generated content. We should never trust ordinary people's writings or
photos, and in any case, they don't contribute to extraordinary operator
profits.
