Not surprisingly, AT&T redefines net neutrality to somehow mean that a service provider is required by law to provide specific services. There is a reason we don't call it "service neutrality". The network is the network. That's what's supposed to be neutral. A service is a service, which by definition is specific, meaning NOT neutral.
An IM provider, such as Yahoo, can offer any level of service they choose. They can choose to not allow you to message Skype accounts. Likewise, VOIP is a service. A VOIP service can offer any level of service they choose, and the network provider has no say whatsoever in the transaction. Don't like Google's service? Use another one that offers the services you want, all while keeping the same neutral network connection. Just what about this is so bloody hard to understand?
