A gain for net neutrality?

AT&T's acquisition of Bell South came with a clause that, for at least two years, requires AT&T to allow equal access to its Internet network. The FCC chairman, Kevin Martin, is, as you would expect, opposed to this but there is little he can do now. The clause probably limits other telecom companies to also maintaining net neutrality as the customer uproar should the company try to charge varying prices would probably be massive.
