I'm not an industry analyst, but let's say good for them on that. And in the business of selling access and internet services, there are certainly ways a huge company can operate so as to provide choices for the consumer and still make lots of money. No, the risk for consumers is that BellSouth/AT&T might be tempted to change the face of the product they are selling by infringing on the current neutrality of the internet. And with such a huge market share, their ability to reduce choice is just amplified all the more.
