Do you really think that AOL and all other ISPs are going to ride for free on a
carrier's backbone? Of course they will pay and they know it! That ruling will get
overturned because it is wrong! AT&T is more than happy to provide bandwidth to
anybody who is willing to pay a reasonable price.

Selling bandwidth is what they should be doing rather then trying to monopolize access to the local loop.

The ruling is about "open access", not "free access". The problem for T is that it owns a majority stake in ATHM valued - until recently - as a monopoly cable ISP.
