It’s hard in the mobile arena because of the high fixed costs but that’s what the government is for.. I don’t think net neutrality would solve this regardless of how the dems structured it. This seems more of a way for Verizon to preserve their DSL/FIOS business while still selling EVDO. IIRC the courts had to step in to allow us (consumers) the option of getting DSL without phone service. This was mandated by Verizon (and pacbell I think) for a long time for the same reasons.

Very confusing, especially as you almost always speak of bluetooth in the context of mobile phones..
