On the attack, are we? Its a free market. If folks don't like what unregulated, non-monopoly ISPs are doing, they can go elsewhere. I dislike the moralizing. This is business, not a battle of good vs evil. - Dan On 3/30/05 7:51 PM, "Eric A. Hall" <ehall@ehsco.com> wrote:

Hmm.. I was quoted in it.
Oh good, maybe you can clarify some things:

Do you also block NNTP so that customers have to use your servers?
And if some other service used higher cumulative bandwidth than VoIP (say, Apple's music service) and didn't ~reimburse you for the use of your network, would|do you block that service too? For that matter, do you block the various P2P systems that don't make money but that generate massive traffic?
What don't you plan on blocking exactly?
