@NoPhame YESSS



[LameBrainMcCain]

So the same institution that fucked up my Social Security (i.e. OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) wants to regulate the Internet??? Go ahead... ask me why I'm against this.

[QuickSilverD]

lots of "what if"'s

[bengacris]

we need more dislike to put neutrality!

@iateyourgranny its not happening today, is it? net neutrality act would give the control of internet over to uncle sam and that is a bad thing because there would actually be someone in charge of it unlike right now. thanks to that act sites would be blocked for political and financial reasons, any alternative news sites would be gone right away, then lobbyists would get involved and say goodbye to the only free realm we have left

[iateyourgranny]

@NIGHTMAREuki you do realize that net neutrality would actually prohibit both the ISP's AND the government from regulating internet? how many "network providers" are there in the US? I bet you can count them in the fingers of one hand. In many areas, there is only one or two available. Do you really call that a choice? And what if AT&T and comcast teamed up to throttle certain sites, who will then protect you from huge corporations you have no control over?

[iateyourgranny]

You know what, let's turn it the other way round. Maybe ISP's should be paying all the "content providers" out there for all the free content they give them, which they make a profit over by selling to their customers in the form of bandwidth. How do you like that, comcast?
