There is a benefit to society getting access to fast and affordable communications.

There is no benefit to denying society this option.

Therefore, preventing it, especially in the name of your corporate interest, is "bad". To say what they are doing is good is sociopathic.

Legalities have no relevance to this at all.

I didn't say it was good or bad. It is a legally, ethically and economically acceptable practice. They are exercising their right to protect their business.

That being said, I hope they lose.
