4: The companies are at fault for not preparing. If a company advertises that a given product has a certain capability, then it should be able to do exactly what it says on the tin. Phones, computers, cars share a common 'deno'. Most of them annoy me because they're not as good as they should be. You know they know how to do it, and then they do it wrong....

cont'd: 3: Your cell phone burns through its battery probably due to the building you are in. In my wooden house, the phone lasts all day, I work in a metal building, and I have to have my charger with me, or it dies in 20 minutes, and both locations are in the boondocks, so it has little to do with bandwidth.

I see it like this- 1: The "Net Neutrality" bill is in name only. If it passes, we are screwed. It's no different than the Healthcare law, or the Stimulus Packages, they aren't what they are advertised as being. 2: Beck isn't right all the time, nor is he wrong all the time, I watch him because he's interesting. He even says it, quote, "Don't trust me, do your own research!" Sound familiar?

@nedbeaty72 There are other perfectly good solutions.

Like, for example, cutting the available bandwidth on a standard DSL connection, and then selling higher bandwidth connections at a higher price. Cut the bandwidth per customer until they can coexist, with them all being ravenous p2p dlers, or casual web surfers. Mix in some uncapped too.

Assume from the start that ppl will regularly max out their links, and sell your connections based on that.

There's always a way to achieve balance.

I absolutely hate att wireless. Hate it. It works fine in metro areas.......rural areas....horrible. I have an iPhone and wish Apple would add Verizon as a carrier. Juno, I think you would at least agree Verizon's 3G coverage is much, much larger that att.

I love my iPhone, but hate att.

Glenn Beck is a fucking moron. If he said the sky was blue, I'd go outside to check for myself before believing him.

@ravenslaves The federal government has to get involved in this if the FCC loses the case in the U.S. Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court upholds the appeals court ruling, Congress can step in and change the law to make it clear the FCC can enforce regulations on this issue.

@ravenslaves So, what you are saying is that you don't care what the actual details of the net neutrality proposals are, and why they may or may not be a good idea. Instead, you simply assume that any sort of government action what so ever must have some sort of negative intent?
