Well, you can’t have any better assurance than the promise of the president of the United States!

YUP!

First and foremost it gets the corrupt, politically-motivated FCC involved with net traffic.

Today it’s ‘correcting inefficiencies and putting packets on equal footing,’ tomorrow it’s inevitably ‘policing hate speech.’

We’ve all seen this film dozens of times before with various technologies and industries. Simply the thin end of the wedge.

That makes sense to a small government conservative. How do you explain that to the average voter, however, when the proposal sounds like motherhood and apple pie?

I also think that from a network integrity perspective, "clogging up the pipes" is exactly what will happen if ISPs aren't allowed to clamp down on people who hog the bandwidth but don't pay extra for it. We all get to pay for the power users' excesses, and government regulation on top of it. It's a double crap sandwich.

Net neutrality is a corrupt con, even by government standards.

Every pie in the sky progressive commie idea will be implemented in such a way as to make it impossible to be undone by the time this idiot leaves office.

You’re only right...and the problem of voter ignorance affects so many issues. Ironically, the Common Core issue itself is another attempt to dumb down the populace. Easier to sell them ‘alternative’ motherhood and apple pie.

It has nothing to do with the kind of cars on the road and all to do with the management of the traffic in terms of speed.
