>Is it a slippery slope that leads to Time Warner, Verizon, or AT&T to control what content is allowed to passed through their cell/data networks? It's not a slippery slope. It's rock bottom.

They proposed it with copyright enforcement, and they proposed it when they fought against Net Neutrality and common-carrier rules. They want to control what goes through their pipes. They do not want to be a dumb pipe, they want to rent-seek, they want to play highway robber of the information superhighway. They've told us that. They are proud of that. They believe that is good business. The question is whether we let ourselves hear it.
