Liberty for me but not for thee.
I am very much of the "my network, my rules" camp.
As soon as att pays back all the gov't subsidies, tax credits, etc., -
we- paid them, they can call it -their- network.
Until then, things are a lot murkier.

everything to do with content.
How does breaking things (censorship) make them more money?

AT&T does not have the right to filter what their users can access,
period. You can put all the spin on it that you want, but in the
end
it's about content.
Whatever happened to "My network, my rules?" If AT&T blocks
something,
and as an AT&T customer, you don't like it, get your connectivity
from
someone else.
