I really don't blame them for trashing any outside service they're trying
to retail for much more money. Why should I let you watch free TV and
listen to free radio streams when I'm selling those stupid TV clips on 700
Mhz for more or some radio subscription service? They are reacting just
like corporations always react when threatened.

Network my ass. When's the last time you got refused a connection because
the network was busy? They're only selling the network cheap to
individuals because they have lots of surplus bandwidth business refuses to
pay through the nose for and they want to recover some of the lost revenues
letting you have 5GB/month/individual for cheap.

Bandwidth went unsold when we tried to sell it by the KB, so when that
didn't work we tried other schemes to unload something that cannot be
stored, for less....same as any business would, not just sellular.
