AT&T Talking to DirecTV About Potential Acquisition
AT&T is so concerned about brand image and reputation
They won't screw this up. I think we got some wise people leading this company - they think business, but aren't greedy Madoff's like the rest of the industry is.

You must be trolling. No one could possibly believe that. This is the same ATT that wants to charge three times for the same content.
1. They will charge consumers for access to the content on the internet.
2. They will charge content providers for delivering the content to which they have already charged consumers for access.
3. They will charge a premium to consumers who are already paying for internet access if they want to access streaming content other than what ATT already offers.
That seems pretty greedy to me.

hyperbole.
1. Yes
2. If content providers pay for access, then the consumer gets access to it without using any of their data.
3. This is just purely made up.

Complacence.
>>1. Yes
And it should stop there. But it doesn't.
>>2. If content providers pay for access, then the consumer gets access to it without using any of their data.
Did you even think about that before you wrote it? It's impossible to deliver data from the internet without using data. What you might have meant was that if a content provider pays the amount of extortion demanded by ATT, then that won't count towards ATT's data usage cap for the consumer.
But there are two problems with this. First,ISP's shouldn't be capping data in the first place. Second, even if they do cap data, how does that justify the ISP trying to tell customers what data they can consume within the constraints of the cap?
