Yet you will have people on this very board that are supporting this takeover.

Common sense should dictate we should not even debate this issue with the FCC or any government agency. Our position should be we will simply not allow government manipulation of the internet no matter what laws they create. The internet represents free speech and is thus hands off for all of government. The position should be there is no debate, we will not comply.

Net Neutrality = Obamacare for the Web.

To the author: if eyes are glazing over it is because you are a boring and bad writer.

I learned little from this and nothing technical was even touched on.

The second lie is that bandwidth is a finite quantity.

It's not the government that is promulgating this lie.

It's the wireless bandwidth providers, who are pricing bandwidth as if it's an irreplaceable physical resource, like helium or 1966 Shelby Mustangs. A resource that has to be measured and sold using the electronic equivalent of an eye dropper.

When I see a 100GB/month plan for under $50, like many other countries have, I'll believe otherwise.

Some want more bandwith at no added costs...like the ‘free’ healthcare they get in Cuba.

Time for another Algore USF on our phone bills!

I’m hard pressed to think of anything that the U.S. government regulates in the commercial market that is substantially improved. I’m sure there must be a rare example or two, but none that I can think of right now.

Sow “Govt” on most anything in the private arena and you will likely reap a bitter harvest.

Excellent explanation, but the lefties here are determined to take all away from the people that really did invent and build the internet.

I live in a small town, the only Internet we can get is either dialiup/dsl or satellite. The only TV we get is Antenna or Satellite. I don't really have a choice of what I get. The Cable company pulled out and removed all their coax from the telephone poles.

The phone company is one of those smaller companies and is given an exemption so I can't change who I get my Phone service from. I tried changing my Phone service a couple of years ago, and we told I couldn't.

I think the fastest speed here is 6mb, with Sat Internet it REALLY sucks, this means there FAP policy would be illegal.

So IF they want to REALLY fair about this, they should require we ALL get fiber Internet, after all my ISP/phone company is restricting my bandwidth.

My rule of thumb has been that, if Obama is pushing for it, then it must be bad for the rest of us. I have no doubt that Obama has something up his sleeve should the FCC adopt net neutrality.
