AT&T has been one of the biggest opponents of the new regulation, along with Verizon Communications and cable company Comcast. On the other side of the debate are consumer advocacy groups and large Web-based technology companies, such as Google and Amazon.
"AT&T is practiced in spending money on so-called astroturf groups to give the appearance there is widespread support for their agenda," said Timothy Karr, campaign director for the advocacy group Free Press.
Everything would be fine if companies like AT&T wouldn't sell more than they have. In thee past, it worked fine to sell fast and unlimted connections because the average user couldn't make that much traffic.
