"In no other area of the economy does the government ban voluntary market
transactions (here, for example, quality-of-service enhancements) specifically
in order to prevent those with superior resources from offering better services
to their own customers." - AT&T

Kind-a disingenuous, wouldn't you say? No one is saying that customers can't
buy faster or better Internet service, or even access to private sites. What
people are screaming at the FCC about is that the middlemen, the broadband
providers, are doing this behind the backs of their customers.
"Voluntary market transactions" are supposed to be available to CUSTOMERS.
Instead, they are being denied to customers, when content owners and locally
monopolistic service providers are in cahoots.
Gimme a break.
