AT&T hasn't said whether it supports the full set of agreements, but it does agree with the exemption for wireless networks, to nobody's surprise. Wireless networks do face tougher bandwidth constraints than fixed networks, but that isn't the only problem.
Mobile networks also have to hand off traffic between tower sites, between networks and between congested sites and non-congested sites. All that takes much more management, and arguably places a premium on the ability to maintain an existing voice session, for example, rather than admitting a new one, or grooming to give priority to voice and other real-time traffic.
