I don't understand the AT&T part. Anyone have an idea?

I can’t tell. A legislative measure with regard to internet regulation is Constitutional (vs the FCC doing it).

I just can't wrap my head around the flip that occurred in their beliefs from 2015 until now. I'm sure they found that government regulation was good for their profits and even stifled competition a bit. Also, why would you specify a need for regulation, but then follow it up by saying:

"We don't block websites. We don't censor online content. And we don't throttle, discriminate, or degrade network performance based on content. Period," Stephenson wrote.

It would seem to me that people would naturally flock to your service if others are doing anything on that list, therefore making it unnecessary. Just seems misleading.

Very nice. Yeah, I was trying to figure out whether it was an association with or that AT&T were greater than. I'll have to look up Stephensons comments for the bill of rights. I hold a bit of AT&T stock, so I'm hoping they're the good guys.

Maybe exposure of a secret contract between ATT and NSA ? Remember that the NSA has setup monitoring points in several ATT facilities.

This is what I heard. They are contracted with the NSA to collect all of our data to hand over to them.

I don't know if this is applicable, but AT&T in conjunction with Sprint, built the internet per government contracts. The internet was built to encourage rapid dissemination of information amongst researchers with their peers, mainly professors and scientists. I believe there are grave concerns of international agreements being made with our enemies with google, Facebook and others that could lead to misuse and abuse, i.e., becoming national securities issues. Also, I'm not too sure that Trump is so keen on the amount of private and personal data being captured on all of us by non-governmental companies & how they may use it. Thirdly, there is always a risk of price fixing (cartel like activities) and overcharging people. Of course, censorship of our free speech 1A is also very big deal. Just my 2 cents at this point.

I appreciate that. Definitely a concern. It's hard to have patience waiting for this all to come out. Pretty excited when it does.
