  • Watch the video. He admits Google is a big supporter of net neutrality. Let me get this straight. The supposed problem is big corporations discriminating Internet traffic. Then why is a big corporation like Google pushing net neutrality? FCC just passed anti blogger laws. Imagine that. Google going after all those bloggers competing with their adwords/adsense model, with affiliate programs (paid links).

  • "There is no problem" he says. Ha! Spoken like someone who doesn't even read his own email.

  • Framing everything in terms of the bullshit kind of capitalism we now see is a typical farcical Republican strategy.

    Businesses should not be allowed to mess with, redirect, or otherwise affect change or do anything to my interactions in the internet.

    If I want to buy something from some company and get on the internet and for money some ISP redirects me to another company, or keeps me from getting where I want, that is not what anyone wants.

  • Remember the history of the Internet. It was created by the USA Military and the military is controlled by Congress. The Internet has grown beyond all hopes and dreams, but the core concept of the Internet is still the Military. There is no one that does not know more of the Internet than them.

  • nut nutrality is where obama gets control of all the of internet we stop him doing this or america will be in orwels 1983 stop him hes the antichrist and worse than hitler

  • 1984 =-)

  • People who know little about the internet trying to 'fix' the internet. What could go wrong?

  • @cdavaz Fiber optics is a better media for broadband

    but the service problem is not the media

    it's the provider companies who deliberately lower bandwidth in order to make more money

    Regulation will not allow them to do that anymore.. so they, like any other corporate ran system, have paid off the Republicans to spin things their way to keep things the way they are in order for them to squeeze as much money from the public as possible

    sound familiar?

    "hands off my broadband" buses anyone?
