Net neutrality
- Thread starter CaptainObvious
- Start date
we really need better rules and a way to foster more competition and truly keep the internet open.
net neutrality" gave the govt the right to control content.
and when you couple that with obama' excutive order o ceded control of the internet overseas...
you had a prescription for govt censorship against view points and a perhaps of lack of standing to sue in some cases or on some issues.

here is more from the article..
If history is any guide, these Title II rules and obligations will drive out smaller ISPs that can’t afford to hire lawyers and lobbyists to interpret the neologisms and incantations that will pour forth from the FCC. The larger carriers, with hallways of attorneys watching the agency’s every move, will muddle through the complexity as they grow more sclerotic, and they may even grow a little larger and more profitable as weaker rivals throw in the towel. Internet and technology companies, used to Silicon Valley’s “move fast and break things” culture, will increasingly need to lawyer up and ask permission before experimenting with new technology that touches on data transmission. Some Internet providers may initially fight or test the legal boundaries, but the FCC has ways of breaking defiant firms. The most alarming is that the agency is increasingly using license and transaction approvals to coerce various policies — like net-neutrality compliance, increasing the number of, say, public-affairs, Spanish-language, and children’s TV shows, and abandonment of editorial control of TV and radio channels — that it cannot, or will refuse to, enact via formal regulation. In the long run, Internet and technology companies, now FCC supplicants, will have to divert funds from new services and network design to fending off regulatory intrusions and negotiating with the Internet’s new zoning board.

I read it in the 80s, it warrants a re-read. The audiobook narrator's voice sounds decent. I'll get that.
Finally the indexes turn enough to get me past my basis entry. I got the run up and nailed the turn but I want to be flat for the weekend.
Not going to read crap from the National Review.
Keep watching the bricks go up around you, this is your new home.

Wrong again. Prices vary a lot depending on bundled packages, speed, contract length, etc. You can also get internet through cellular providers.

Tom B you reminded me a lot of a partially autistic bank software developer I know from Ireland called Kevin. He was a big football fan, the crowd he went to matches with used to call him "Rent-a-Row" as he had an unerring ability to mindlessly irritate.
Projecting again.. I know.
No, you are just an imbecile. You could try to comment on the substance of my post; but, you lack the brain power to do so. So instead, you resort to trolling, you fat bastard.
There is never any substance in your posts. haha Just snippy comments.We are not mindreaders to guess what you might mean. Dumbass.
Still on net neutrality I think most left and right agree overall, they don't like how it was done and don't expect good of it.
What are you talking about? What exactly did the Republicans do to Obamacare? Obamacare is the same today and it was a year ago when Obama was still President? What exactly has changed?
Wrong again, you fat bastard. Why respond, if (in your delusional mind) you think there is nothing to respond to.
