Before you start bashing telecom giants such as AT&T and Verizon, you may want to check your facts. Far from enjoying "free economic structure" that you claim, they are the heaviest regulated businesses in the US. They are FORCED to sell to their competitors BELOW their own cost.

They are routinely blocked from competing with cable TV companies by franchise agreements that the cable companies get by using kick-backs (bribes) to city officials.

Then, to add insult to injury, large content providers are trying to subvert Net Neutrality into a free ride on the networks that were built and currently maintained by the likes of AT&T and Verizon.

Just to refresh your memories, Alexander Bell, who later formed The Bell Telephone Company which became AT&T, invented the telephone in 1876. Bell Labs invented the transistor and the laser among other things such as UNIX. While you throw away your defective modern phones every year or so, the ones built by Western Electric (the manufacturing arm of Bell Labs) a hundred years ago still work.

You bad-mouth the hand that fed you the technology you use and made it all possible (Ma Bell, not Al Gore).
