Sep 23, 2009 -- AT&T still trying to violate net neutrality
AT&T has been on the warpath against any effort to allow full freedom of speech using the Internet.
The Internet service provider wants to be able to restrict the flow of traffic and give preferential treatment to their own content, while degrading the experience of going to other content providers' sites. It's all about the money.
As always, an AT&T representative is welcome to come on air and dispute what Clark is saying.
Traditionally, you could just go to any website on a wired connection. But there are no rules governing the brave new world of wireless. This goes to the core of AT&T restricting what people can do with the iPhone.
Now, in the past, we've had AT&T reps come on the show and say that it's a capacity issue, that certain applications that clog bandwidth have been banned. But to Clark's mind, AT&T wants to interfere with free speech in order to make money. Period.
