there is a very easy solution to this. ISP’s and wireless companies should be able to provide just that, airtime or access to the internet via their cable. They should not be allowed to offer devices, that should be left up to the market. Just as anyone that wants to build an application that runs on MS Windows, a company should be able to build a device that can talk on anyone’s network. I as a consumer buys whatever i want. Then whatever service provider works best in an area i buy minutes. I can buy minutes at a grocery store, 7-11 whatever, then i scratch off the code and enter it into my device. How about my Nikon camera able to attach to a wireless network and send a pic i just took to someone. Just think of all the possibilities of devices that would come out of a million companies, shops and garages. Let the revolution begin

Allowing careers to decide what services they will allow on their networks creates a fragmented experience. While the argument is that its their network the problem is that all networks are interconnected. Comcast customers at some point must use a rival carriers network. If bandwidth is a problem for Internet providers the can always raise prices on consumers. I think that would be the best way to go for service. To focus website providers for “fast lanes” to be would be anti-competitive. We all talk about free market but in areas where their are “duplication of services” the free market philosophy doesn’t apply. At that point it should be determined by what’s best for society.
