you are an idiot. the internet is not the freeway. the internet is a much more complicated space than that. you serve as a nothing but a mouthpiece for antibusiness propoganda. internet can be purchased from wi-fi providers, ISPS, telco's, cable companies, celluar phone companies, not from the government. you must be confused. youtube is a private company, so is google, so is yahoo.... hmmm who owns the "inernet" again... MORON the internet is a big network of lots of private networks.

Internet uses byways owned by citizens (public roads, sidewalks, even airwaves for wifi) but is regulated for the people by the govt FCC (mandated by congress.) I hope you see the connection, drinkinstein, about how congress can make legislation to give private companies more control over electronic spectrum that the people own. Its not propaganda, please follow up on your research before you make such biased claims.

[drinkinstein]

so we are talking about regulation of the wires and the frequencies then... i suppose we should just have an un organized spectrum and let it be a free for all. what are you supporting is the exact definition of "net neutrality". are you only talking about physical plant or are you talking about the logical layers of the network? do you not support QOS? you are the uninformed users

[madsquare]

The internet is currently "neutral" because the government commissions have protected our rights to our bandwidth with law. The new law will either 1) further protect our rights to free information and free exchange of ideas or 2) allow companies to influence our decision making based on which content providers have the budget to pay. If you fail to see the potential threat to your personal freedom then I can't help you. I think you just want to fight anyway, so thanks for your comments.

Youtube and myspace and bliptv will be just fine, they will introduce greater levels of ad sales to make up revenue for fastlane fees. These companies all have plans to roll out services that are not free, once we are hooked on their free stuff.

[microdot]

Yes, I would like to get internet service without paying for it.

But in this context, I meant Free as in FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW! That's a Funkadelic song, son. People used to dance to it in the old days. Now go and take your pills.

[gloriousotter]

sad but true

[mellowmark1]

Backseat drivers suck.

[biftek1234]

Please concentrate on driving while driving instead of shooting a video. There are already too many idiots on the road.

[AdmiralTrapbar]

net netaulity is the idea that with any internet connection you can see every site. companys are trying to buy the rights to that. as in depending on what you pay you can see only some stuff. and not any thing that the company you buy internet acces from wants.

[yamilink03]

im not sure i quite understand

[gloriousotter]

at the time of this post a net netraulity bill has failed in the us

[maddcatone]

and don't just do it yourself, spread the word, there are a lot more people interested in your same ideals that you would think.

[yamilink03]

vote, protest, petition, make a voice of yourself. go to your state rep and complain to them, do something to have your voice heard.

It's allready been demonstrated in CHINA, nothing you say or do will save it. The end of an age is here and it is staring you in the face!

Get out of CANADA and the USA while you still can, and don't look back!!

Better safe than SORRY later.
