Hi n1kko. Were your comments directed at my post? If so, what gives you the notion that I'm not in favor of Net Neutrality?

We've seen what the telecom industry does with the cell phone 'highway'.
Long, inflexible contracts.
A closed hardware environment where *they* decide which features of *your* phone you may and may not use.
Exclusive deals with manufacturers (iPhone comes to mind) which prohibit us from using the gear we'd prefer.
Per-message/photo/video charges.
Rented ringback tones.
Outrageous internet access charges.
Roaming fees.
Etc.
Now they want to do the same thing to the 'Net. Are they out of their minds...or are we for even considering it?
