Maybe a dumb question, here, but I've been wondering for sometime now: Can't we just provide ourselves with internet access, get our own pond of water supply? What IS the internet, anyway? It's not tangible (unless it's like that South Park episode) so the only limit to it's access is the limits imposed by providers of internet to internet providers (or not).
I have a feeling I'm missing a very important point to understanding the net. Or not.
The only other thing I have to say is… Try making this argument when we only had dialup access 10-20 yrs ago. People like this are the flat earth liberals. They really can’t think beyond yesterday or tomorrow. Imagine in 10 more years how fast internet connections will become? There is a reason for increase in speed, cheaper, better, and more accessible & reliable just about EVERYWHERE! Learn about it. And I’ll give you a hint the government had nothing to do with it.
maybe they should just regulate the crap for the sake of the awesomeness. I'd like to know what amount of bandwidth the Kardashians or Lil Wayne or Twilight steal from fruitful internet use such as vlogbrothers, academic research, forex trading and porno
Price of internet increases and then fewer people use it, and/or the increase in the price yields greater investment making more bandwidth for everyone. It's like gasoline. The prices are increasing slightly, but investments in new ways to find it mean that about every time we make a new estimate for how long the reserves will last, it is greater than the number of years expected 10 years ago. This situation assumes corporatism doesn't take hold.
i dont understand. is this just a threat to americas internet acess or the entire world? even if it is just in america it would still have an effect on the rest of the world anyway, wouldnt it? so, since its only america's choice, isnt that wrong? shouldnt it be everyones decision seeing as how this would affect the internet for everyone? or am i getting this wrong?
Technically speaking, comcast has the right to do anything they wish so long as it does not break the law, because it is their company, and they are responsible to the stock holders.
Their competitors could take them down a notch by saying "we don't throttle you down" and then there would be a pricing war between the ISP companies, and pricing wars are almost universally good for the consumer. :)
I would probably pay a lot money to have full book-borrowing access to both of the Green brothers' personal libraries. I CANNOT EVEN READ HALF THE TITLES IN THE BACKGROUND, AND YET, THEY STILL LOOK INTERESTING.
On Wednesday I will be presenting a persuasive speech on Net Neutrality for my Oral Communications class. I hope it would be okay if I used a part of your video "Net Neutrality in the shower" from May 3, 2010. I would be using footage from 2:46-3:40. Thanks so much for introducing the concept to me in the first place back in 2010! All my research has been very fascinating and enlightening. Hope you have a great evening!
ISP s must have the right to charge for the data they supply. Content creators need to collect for their work too. Freedom of crap (speech) does not equate with freedom from paying for the dissemination of that crap.
"I'm sorry to say this, but if they are legal able to do it, they'll do it." Scary thought, but do we have any actual examples of telecom companies to this date giving such exclusivities? No, we don't.
I'm using internet for almost 7 years and have never experienced any of this fud being spread here about evul corporations and such. Nobody is limiting anything on my pipe (yep no bt limits). Even if someone would limit some sites at expense of others who is best to judge of what my needs are - me or some corruptible bureaurat? Last I checked anything that governments owns or regulates turns into bankrupt or corrupt mess. If it works fine now, then why the fck you want to change it?
My professor, a nerdfighter, showed this video in my media class this week when we started talking about net neutrality and it made me smile knowing that Hank in the shower is being used as a teaching aid at my university lol :)
I have a research paper due next month for my Professional Ethics and Social Issues in Computer Science class. I chose Net Neutrality as my topic because not only am I using it as a way to force knowledge of the subject upon myself (I've wanted to learn about it for many months but at the same time I keep putting it off)-- I am also using it as an excuse to bring the Awesomeness of Brotherhood 2.0 and Nerdfighteria into my presentation! :D
Very good argument. Crap like savetheinternet make very vague arguments with influental speaking to hope for the change. (but people are going to wait until something happens anyway...)
Hey Hank, with all the net neutrality stuff in the news, I just rewatched this as a refresher. Question--why don't they just turn down the nozzle on porn? I mean, I realize that it's another BitTorrent situation, and that since it's not illegal they have no right to do that... but... I know porn is responsible for a huge percentage of internet traffic, and it doesn't seem like having a bit less of it would be such a loss to the innovative creativity of the internet. What do you think?
@liddlexxleahxx01 yeah but google and verizon don't promote their own versions of illegal downloading. they could still turn down the nozzle on porn and save bandwidth
@x4812k imo the issue isn't that they're trying to save bandwidth, despite what they say... they really want to promote their sites and slow down competition from outsiders/make them pay for faster speeds. so basically they want to turn down the nozzle on the things that aren't provided by them (or, like you said, are illegal). buuuuuuuut maybe hank will see your question soon xP
I'm 14 and my parents 55...... and u think ur parents think they're old when ur 30? lol i luv ur videos, I'm watching them in order from the beginning!
"whereas an infinite amount of crap is - hope." is he actually referring to obama there or is it me over - interpreting? because if he is, it's just great!
-well it's even great if he isn't, meaning it's simply great...great!
You should see how I can go from loading a 4 minute youtube video in a matter of seconds, to barely being able to load it in ten minutes once the clock strikes 6pm. My ISP is already deciding *when* the speed is there or not. They claim they don't, but at midnight, like clockwork, everything always speeds back up. And like most, it can decide just how much data I require in any given month to fulfil my gaming/video viewing needs. It's inevitable. This is why we can't have nice things.
2 point ...1) Are telcom companies not already doing packet routing .. .which is a fancy technical legal name of doing the same thing .. second isnt the whole argument around net neutrality been put under big Question when companies like google (have a vested interest in fighting a proxy war against old media companies) personally I am much happy to see Google win this one .. but the fact that this is pure battle is not so much true ..
Companys should not be allowed to have that much level of control. Comcast already looks in to your data being transferred. If you back up your data off site. Make sure you password it with something. You never know how is looking on it.
Hank, I love yah, but you're ignoring basic free market principles, and the beauty of capitalism.
If "ComCast" cuts off YouTube but not their own service, and their service isn't as good as YouTube, they will lose customers to people who are still allowing YouTube. They will either live with this loss of customers, improve their service, or return the YooTubez.
I'm confuesed as to what bandwith is? Is it an international thing or only applicable to cable? At some point will the Internet run out? I understand electricty must be produced aswell , but the Internet is just radio-type signal is it not... so how can it be used up?
The only thing about this that makes me wonder is the issue you mention briefly here; price. What is going to happen when these companies have price problems? Won't that make the cost of internet go up up up? because if they can't afford more bandwidth, they won't take it out of their own pockets. Won't that mean (some) people won't be able to afford the internet? Thus shutting off the water anyway.
I'm not for or against everything- this is a new idea to me, I'm just trying to understand.
sorry but the Bit Torrent bandwidth consumption thing is a myth.
You are perpetuating it here, and actually presenting it as justification for the corporations behaviour - not that this is your intention - but it distorts the picture.
This is about profit and control, no excuses, no explanations necessary; it's a fuelled by capitalist agenda, so spell it as it is, rather than spouting nonsense about attempts to stifle illegality.
Well, I do have to add, Net Neutrality was not allowed by the courts, so the FCC is regulating the internet as a utility. It is as if I had a coal burning furnace and the government, who was told they can't make a law against coal furnaces, comes to my home and tells me I have a coal/carbon fee because I'm not using a solar panel. I guess the rule is if it is unconstitutional to make it a law or can't pass the congress, just make a regulation and avoid those annoying checks and ballances.
So are you for Net Neutrality? You feel that the government, not the individual user, should be in control of what goes on the internet? With the current system, yes, the business is trying to make a profit, but you can still switch to another outlet. With NN the government controls the internet as a utility. When that happens, if the government thinks you are saying something inappropriate, they will shut you down. Not just porn but political speach.
What about porn? (I really just wanted to open up a comment with that)
But siriusly. They went for BitTorrent BEFORE porn?! I mean, in the immortal words of Doctor Cox, 'If you took all the porn off the internet, there would only be one site left, and it would be called 'Bring back the porn!'. Surely that's taking bandwidth. And how many people want to see giraffe sex, anyway?
@Flangel66 I totally agree. Sure, some people might be pissed off we're taking away the porn but hopw many sites of people f*cking does the internet need?
Ehh I think youtubes safe, it's owned by one of the largest corperations in the world and provides around half the profit google has, google isn't just going to let this slide

sorry but the Bit Torrent bandwidth consumption thing is a myth.
You are perpetuating it here, and actually presenting it as justification for the corporations behaviour - not that this is your intention - but it distorts the picture.
This is about profit and control, no excuses, no explanations necessary; it's a fuelled by capitalist agenda, so spell it as it is, rather than spouting nonsense about attempts to stifle illegality.

Well, I do have to add, Net Neutrality was not allowed by the courts, so the FCC is regulating the internet as a utility. It is as if I had a coal burning furnace and the government, who was told they can't make a law against coal furnaces, comes to my home and tells me I have a coal/carbon fee because I'm not using a solar panel. I guess the rule is if it is unconstitutional to make it a law or can't pass the congress, just make a regulation and avoid those annoying checks and ballances.

So are you for Net Neutrality? You feel that the government, not the individual user, should be in control of what goes on the internet? With the current system, yes, the business is trying to make a profit, but you can still switch to another outlet. With NN the government controls the internet as a utility. When that happens, if the government thinks you are saying something inappropriate, they will shut you down. Not just porn but political speach.

What about porn? (I really just wanted to open up a comment with that)
But siriusly. They went for BitTorrent BEFORE porn?! I mean, in the immortal words of Doctor Cox, 'If you took all the porn off the internet, there would only be one site left, and it would be called 'Bring back the porn!'. Surely that's taking bandwidth. And how many people want to see giraffe sex, anyway?

@Flangel66 I totally agree. Sure, some people might be pissed off we're taking away the porn but hopw many sites of people f*cking does the internet need?

I'd still watch youtube if it was throttled. At mt boyfriend's house, each video took about half an hour to load, so I'd do homework in between :)
