Net Neutrality

Gov is greedy but many laws protect us and small business. You say you are concerned about small business and in regards to net neutrality, that is EXACTLY who benefits from this law, it says that everyone has equal status on the internet, not whomever can pay the most $. Deregulation of business lead to the current financial crisis we are in, under true capitalism all that matters is money and profit, people like you and me would be completely left out!

It's just a corporate war: content providers versus the ISPs. Content providers want Net Neutrality to make to easier to download movies, which take up huge amounts of bandwidth. It has nothing to do with free speech. After all, how much bandwidth does this comment use?

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...
