Do they do that now? In my world I don't see a problem that these liberals need to butt into. But I am open on this issue if others can point out specific problems that we need the FCC to "fix".
Isn’t net neutrality what we have now?
I think it is at least from my experience. However the term "net neutrality" means different things to different people. I guess we would have to read the whole thing and analyze to see exactly what this means.
But the fact Obama is for it and Boehner is against it tells me a lot right there. Also - it was a 3-2 vote in the FCC right down party lines. In fact I can't think of one issue that Obama was for and Republicans were generally united against where I took Obama's side.
Comcast was caught limiting certain kinds of traffic a couple of years ago. Which meant they had to examine what kind of traffic it was, in order to limit it.
But the fact Obama is for it and Boehner is against it tells me a lot right there.
I fear that may just be a function of who gives money to whom. Content providers (Google, Amazon) have generally been in favor of net neutrality, and the ISPs have been against it. I bet if you scratched the surface you'd find that the former supported Obama and Democrats, and the latter supported Republicans.
I understand how you feel, but I'd rather make my decision on the merits of the proposal than on who's on which side. Net neutrality is more or less what we've had up til now, and the Internet seems to be working fine. The ISPs want to change that so they can make us pay more for certain things. Without further information, I can't see why that's in my best interest.
