Frankly, I think AT&T, Comcast and any other ISP should have the right to clearly state their network policies and then offer whatever they want to offer. But there is a HUGE double-standard in play here if Comcast is going to be slammed for violating Net Neutrality merely by throttling (note, not BLOCKING... just throttling) P2P traffic yet AT&T is allowed to block it entirely. That kind winds up in courts and brings on foolish legislation.
Kevin Martin is a single-minded hack with his blatant axe-grinding. I'm not defending Comcast... their customer service and technical competence (or lack thereof) lost me as a subscriber many moons ago. But it's pretty clear that *any* ISP is going to have to make decisions as to how to control bandwidth utilization on their IP network. And someone is going to be upset that they can't get a 'free ride'.
