It's almost as if AT&T was only planning on rolling out fiber if they could sell it at a premium and effectively end around the cable companies in the next 5 years by replacing traditional TV charges with premium on-demand Netflix/Hulu/Whatever else. That would be a smart move for AT&T, but would be bad for the consumer. Just think, instead of spending $10 for Netflix, you could spend $15-20 to have FAST NETFLIX (and probably other bundled junk you don't care about). Even better, they could bundle internet with netflix with phone with dvr for like $150 a month!!!!! Think of the margin on that!!!!!
Seriously though, it's good that the FCC is looking into this, but I doubt they will do much about it. At some point there is just too much money involved for the "right thing" to happen when it comes to your average consumer/citizen.
