BellSouth & Tiered Access

It looks like BellSouth is pressing forward with their plan to establish tiered Internet service. The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that it is currently in negotiations with a movie company and with an Internet gaming company to deliver their services at a higher priority.

This is something that they started speaking about in late November 2005, when their chief technologist, William L. Smith, suggested that companies should pay for transiting the telco networks. See the coverage in the Washington Post.
