Straight to the point

I don't believe I have yet seen a more succinct summary of the "Net Neutrality" issue than the one Illiad posted today.

many of skellington's friends work for Cingular and I'm fairly certain I have seem in the ICB /g WICB while they were discussing this issue.

*shrug*

If they're in ICB, I'm guessing they're technical people. Switching packets != "running a phone company".

At any rate, my point about how I don't run a phone company still stands, regarding the question to me about how a phone company should conduct its business.

And my point about it being private property certainly stands untouched.

Furthermore, I have no expectation of changing anyone's mind. I have sworn eternal enmity towards socialism and communism, and was merely intending on calling it out to Alaric in this case.

I don't see this as a "socialism/communism vs. free market" issue. I see it as an "allowing a free market to remain free vs. restoring power of monopoly" issue.
