AT&T Defends Controversial FaceTime Policy Following Widespread Backlash
zacharye writes "AT&T is wasting no time hitting back at critics of its decision to limit the use of popular video chat app FaceTime over its cellular network to users who sign up for its shared data plans. In a post on the company's official public policy blog on Wednesday, AT&T chief privacy officer Bob Quinn sneered at criticisms that restricting FaceTime over cellular to shared data plans violates the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality rules for wireless networks."

Did you look at the Dude's links? Are you even listening to the Dude's story? Donny, you're like a child that wonders in on his parents' argument...
It is typical of Ex AT&T CSR's or Reps to be a bit "special" and not able to read or communicate. Give him a break.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
But...but...but the Free Market (TM) is supposed to take care of all this. It must be over regulation!
Yes, if only there were a model of a real competitive phone market somewhere that we could learn from. Possibly a magical land where it would be common for you to buy your device and get the service separately. Where if one were fed up with carrier A, they could just chuck the sim in the trash and insert one from carrier B. Imagine how cheap phones and service would be with carriers actually competing for your business!
Yeah, I know *insert needle being scraped across record* stop dreaming and get back to work.
The soylentnews experiment has been a dismal failure.
