Too much money to be made, too much “dark fiber” and the technology is jumping by leaps and bounds … ain’t gon’a happen. IMHO
Ever since they broke up the phone company and forced AT&T to compete it has consistently been one of the most badly managed companies in America. Why would anyone think they could do anything right now?
Currently, AT&T is obligated to carry multiple gigabits/sec of traffic that neither originates on, or terminates to a node on their network.
AT&T has to give the same priority to some dumb kid that wants to put up a video on his myspace page as a business who is both WILLING AND ABLE to pay a premium price for premium service.
It's some real silly sh*t this so-called "net neutrality".
