| AT&T has proposed a major rate increase, known as 'broadband caps,' on high-volume video distribution targeting initially heavy movie users. This sets the stage for a two-tier pricing model that could effectively end net neutrality. The full effect of these and many other actions by the trust, working through 'captured' FCC and state public utilities commissions (PUCs), will be the erosion of Universal Service, further harming those most vulnerable. Like vampires of legend, today's trusts not only provide over-priced and inferior service, but are sucking dry hapless American consumer by systematically overcharging them.
