Google, leftists, and other corrupt organizations supported it.
Ergo, not a good thing.

My biggest fears are first the ISP spiking their programming competitors to promote their own programming. (How much buffering and glitches will you put up with on Netflix before you just pay for Spectrum’s pay per view version?). And second selective bandwidth based on the destination site paying for it. I paid for my bandwidth. Me. So it shouldn’t matter to my cable company whether I use it for Netflix, YouTube or just hitting F5 on Free Republic.

Net neutrality is bogus. It was designed as a way for Fedzilla to start controlling the internet so progressives can slowly start doing away with all the economic freedom & prosperity using the internet can bring to a person, a company or a nation.

I have to admit, I was for Net Neutrality until yesterday when Rush Limbaugh read through the list of innovations the FCC had stifled over the years at the behest of varying lobbying and special interest groups.

The single best example Limbaugh gave was that we could've had cellphones back in the 1950's. Seriously. (Not the size we have no, but along the lines of the first Motorola brick phones probably.)

Because of lobbying and other efforts by AT&T and other Telco hardline related providers and manufacturers, it took 25 years for the FCC to finally start licensing the band space for Cellphones to operate in and it took years after that for the first "portable" cellphones to hit the market. Even then the FCC wanted to limit the usage of the bands that cellphones operate in today to Military applications.

I hope Limbaugh publishes the list, it had some very good examples and it convinced me that "net neutrality" is a hoax.

Glad I listened to Rush yesterday.

Net neutrality isn’t neutral.

My understanding the goal here is to let the government basically control the internet, thus free speech.
