AT&T imposing DSL and U-verse bandwidth caps, fees for "excess" use http://j.mp/esGMKS (Engadget) "AT&T U-Verse TV service won't count towards the GB cap" Translation: Screw you, Netflix! "Less than 2 percent of our Internet customers could be impacted by this approach" Of course, that assumes no increase in usage, which assumes the predicted increases in video streaming don't come to pass. But then, the incentive here is clear -- don't watch or use competing Internet services that count against the cap, get U-verse and watch AT&T video services and your usage won't apply against the cap! ===> We control the pipe. We win. Thank you for using AT&T. <=== --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://j.mp/laurenbuzz Quora: http://www.quora.com/Lauren-Weinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
