Then why promote the principles that seem to discourage competition? If I can't control my network, I can't very well differentiate myself from others!

If not, what is the value of such 'support'? Would it be misleading? > C) Is that a yes? > D) Come on say yes, you know you want to. I think our main disagreement is because the "principles" seem to suggest there are filters that I shouldn't have. While I agree with your general thrust, the "principles" as written are simultaneously too vague to be meaningful (for ISP desiring to cheat), and too strict to be painful to comply (for ISP desiring strict compliance). Like I said, the only real answer is to let marketplace make a decision. -alex -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
