Net Neutrality: The Real Issue Behind the AT&T/BellSouth Showdown

Figure i post something to even out this post.
First i will correct some errors.
-Google and Yahoo distribution cost are far from zero. They paid by the bandwidth they use (could you image paying ISPs by the download instead of a monthly fee).
- You can't really call it a free market when you can only pick one of two. (you can only get high speed via cable or dsl)

Now I'm really surprised that the telcos are pushing against Net Neutrality. If they are getting so many issues, they should just allow the itty bitty law pass(hey it could be worse). Lets also not forget who win wins in every case. Google. Google really is the only company that can afford to paid the telcos. If they don't feel like paying, they are the only ones that can afford to build their own fiber/wireless networks and by pass completely the telcos (giving consumers a possibly free choice). If Google builds, the telcos become obsolete, and cease to exist.

Just because you can't tell the difference between, my telco is blocking me from accessing seekingalpha.com vs. seekingalpha.com is down, doesn't mean the problem DOES NOT EXIST!
