   Would you care to add more context to your remark?   
      
   So you don't believe in free market capitalism?  You don't think that wireless   
   companies, and their subcontractors, should be able to operate their legally   
   owned assets in whatever manner they chose?   
      
   I recognize that telecommunications have long been regulated in the U.S.  I   
   also   
   think there quite possibly times of high usage and/or limited capacity when   
   throttling transmission speeds may be a better alternative than simply denying   
   service to some fraction of customers.
