Across the board, I'd say that the level oof net neutrality back then was about the same as it today --- a few stupid firms (Comcast, AOL) actively preventing people from using the Internet in a manner that meets the consumers needs, but does meet the needs of the telcos that should be permanently barred from doing anything but providing a pipeline. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
