I'm more and more convinced that Net Neutrality will be very damaging to the Internet. Wireless is not fundamentally different than wired.
That's irrelevant: wireless is still young with lots of competition going on. You don't fix something that ain't broken.And about your problems with Skype, you don't know lots of details, like: can Verizon actually handle it? Or who's to blame, Verizon, Skype, the FCC? Same with text messaging... a total scam at this point
Yeah, it's called capitalism.
What? Do you want regulation on that too? |

Why should the two be considered differently?
And no, I feel consumers can figure out for themselves that paying .25 to send 256 bytes of data is a scam. But I don't think wireless carriers should be granted special abilities to protect this sort of underhanded dealings which wired providers are not. What would you think if it was said that DSL and cable internet providers could block MSN, AIM, Jabber and Skype IMs because they had a special deal where they wanted you to use their IM service for .25 cents a message? Though other data was unlimited? I'd have a problem with that, personally.
