Net Neutrality - Telcos == Mafia
http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/07/07/28NNnetneutral_1.html
I'm not going to bore you with a discussion of the ins and outs of the Net Neutrality discussion. It just sounds to me like the Telcos (telephone, cable, and other providers) are sounding like the Mafia. They are claiming that Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and other major providers are getting a free ride. I guess that they forgot that their customers pay them for access to the Internet. The providers then turn around and freely peer with the other big providers. It sounds like the providers want a piece of the action and are going to cut off access to these services if they don't get it. I have never understood why I have been promised huge amounts of bandwidth for years yet I haven't seen a provider that I have access to provide these speeds. I can't wait to hear one of these providers say "We're going to make them an offer they can't refuse."
