Shelley, I don't trust legislation either. But the whole discussion should be framed in the context that telcos & cable companies are to some extent coercive monopolies in highly regulated atmospheres, much like power utilities. My outlook is anarchist/libertarian, and I wish other libertarians would see this. What we really need is comprehensive deregulation of the whole system.

Thanks for your response. :-)

agreed. think that will ever happen?

I think Congressman Markey needs a swift kick in his pussy!

This is a just an Orwellian way of titling a bill that does the opposite.

"A regulation to make the internet free!"

Yeah right...

I wonder what "provisions" they slipped in, like allowing the president to turn off the net whenever he has an itch in his ass.

@derekHSmith Unfortunately she isn't smart on this issue. Apparently we've had net neutrality in place since the internet got big in the 90s.

[screwopenborders]

Not sure if you realized it but Net Neutrality has been around since the 90s. Using the word "regulations" is a mis-nomer that the trash in washington has manipulated the right into thinking it was bad.

You are Smart AND Beautiful! Marry ME!

what I would like to see is more affordable Internet service access and a speed regulation of no less then 4 megabits per second this is a must since HD is now standerd.

This person is a shill, stirring up fear of government takeover and lies about what net neutrality is, in favor of Net Bias (you may only access the information that ISPs want you to access, and you have to pay whatever they tell you to pay in order to do it). If you want to be told which sites you may or may not visit, blast away in favor of censorship. If you want to keep civil liberty and access to the global network that you paid for with tax $, then support net neutrality.

Actually our current system IS net neutrality....so they are not changing anything. They are proposing a law so that companies could not all decide to start doing this.

[seanotube85]

What EXACTLY are they trying to regulate here is my number one issue.. Are they planning on regulating what you can or can't do on the internet, or are they planning on regulating how much Comcast and Verizon have power over what you can or cannot do on the internet? Because I KNOW that Comcast and Verizon recently got a whole lot more unnecessary power on allowing how many people can go to certain websites at a time. This affects net neutrality negatively. It was working fine BEFORE that bill.

please, don't trust comcast, at&t and verizon!! they will eventually control the internet...not the GOVERNMENT!!!!
