Net Neutrality

Fools! The Internet is not a big truck you can just dump something on! It is a series of tubes and if these tubes are filled, the Internet is going to be delayed.

Why do you hate freedom? :(

Ignorance at its best. Regulation of the internet is regulation of free speech. If you have an internet provider that restricts you access to certain sites than switch to one that wont.

Net neutrality is a slippery slope.

Oh and fuck the FCC and its constant regulation of free of speech.

You forget that most markets have no more than one or two ISPs available to them. There is no free market without competition.

net neutrality really only enforces something that would happen regardless of the law. an ISP will get more benifit through more customers by not making "special deals" with websites. because of this the web will naturally remain open, its called competition. when companies compete (for profit) you win.

did anyone, towards the end. scream inside theyre mind. "NOOO! MY POOOORRRN!!!"? i swear im not the only one.

What evidence do you have for any of this? All Net Neutrality will do is make sure things stay as they are right now. Without legislation in place there is nothing to stop ISP's from restricting access or bandwidth to certain domains.

. First The reason why they limted band width is because since the accounts were "unlimited" all the usage was bogging down bandwidth.. Well at first the idea was to limit the band width per month like lets say 1 gig a month. Well that did not work of course because people we upset. So they started to lower the band width for certain things The issue is this if they cannot limit band width they will need to change the unlimited option. It is a matter of economics

I like how pure this is because it comes from three years ago. The problem now is that what Obama wants is NOT true net neutrality. He wants the government to control what you get on the internet. Oh, but it's ok. He promises he will leave everything that you 'need' to see on the internet wide open to you. Bull...

That makes perfect sense except it ignores the fact that there are about 3 companies which own like 85% of the market. There is no competition to go to (unless you want dial up!) These three companies are lobbying together and have the same plan, and conservative "values." They are comcast, verizion and At&T. The government wont create more competition because they are deep in the pockets of these companies. BTW, under true capitalism, money is all that matters, nice "values."

Its not just corprate greed it is much more complex that that. The goverment greed is also to blame. many of the big bussness set up laws through the goverment so thier greed can grow. Here is the issue. Everybody wants more. Even the government. If they put any restircitons it will be to thier benefit. Not yours. We dont have true capitalism in this country if we did the small bussnes would be able to compete w/o being trampled by laws and taxes that make it almost impossible to expand.
