Without Net Neutrality, carriers could decide to relegate more available bit-rate to MSNBC at the expense of Free Republic. The government is saying that it should be equal, that regardless of whether or not you go to Free Republic or MSNBC, you should have the same loading speeds.
I have to agree with the government here.
I agree with Net Neutrality. We all pay for bandwith equally anyway.
If only that was all there was to it...
Have you read the 300+ pages of regulations? You should post them on the internet if you have. Otherwise I doubt what you think will be the simplistic outcome.
You are kidding, right?
You are 100% misguided.
Anti-free-speech legislation will quickly be introduced... oh, I’m sorry, we don’t do that any more. Obama will quickly sign an Executive Order that will ban Hate Speech and Terrorism Speech.
The definition of those will be: Any criticism of Muslims. Any criticism of gays. Any criticism of the Orwellian Police State. Distribution of any news not coming from the Communist Propaganda Organs of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the NYT, the WP, or the LAT. Blockages of the often-insightful news coming from England.
The FCC will be granted SWAT teams, and they will be used to kill and arrest anyone who dissents from the official propaganda line. And you know what? You will never hear about those raids. That will be forbidden news, too.
We are now to be 100% just like the Soviet Union, in absolutely every way.
I guarantee the Governments' definition of "Net Neutrality" won't be your definition of it. The camel's nose is in the tent.
