It's not really that. Obama wants to fill the internet with drivel. The reason why the providers want to block streaming video is to allow content to get through without building expensive high bandwidth infrastructure. By forcing providers to take all streaming video from Netflix and Google (the only players that matter), the government fills the internet with useless drivelous video. There is nothing more useless than netflix and youtube (e.g. compared to our discussion for example).
One could argue that "neutrality" should apply to video, but obviously it cannot, there is not enough bandwidth to let everyone stream whatever they want. A similar argument is that the providers could censor content (wrong, other than throttling streaming video). An analogous argument is that the government could censor content. That is wrong. Tor will allow any content through with hidden servers, etc. Nobody can censor content, the Chinese try 24x7 and basically fail (other than cutting off access or reducing their internet to AOL for China).
To make it clear, without my rural provider throttling streaming video I get no access (zero bandwidth) to do anything.
Yes Obama and democrats want to ruin the Internet.
government, democrats and the media are the problem and the main threat we face to our freedom and prosperity. The government/democrat/media complex the evil of our time
Don’t be too hard on Youtube. The how-to videos people put out there are immensely valuable, have easily saved me thousands of dollars by teaching me how to do basic home repairs, changing the brakes and mufflers on my cars, etc.
