antiRepublicrat is some kind of propagandist.
Check his personal page, where he tries to soft-peddle “Net Nutrality” as something benign.
The commission approval today allows for total control of all phases of internet activity, from access, to speech.
Now we’re supposed to believe that “Spreading the Wealth” is appropriate to apply to the net. Those that have built the backbone are not going to be allowed to control it, so soon internet traffic jams will be like LA freeways: dead stop.
If you cannot profit from an investment, you’re not going to make it, so no more internet expansion.
Welcome to thread hijacking. That's there so I can cut and paste against the lies.
Now we’re supposed to believe that “Spreading the Wealth” is appropriate to apply to the net.
First example: Net neutrality has nothing to do about spreading the wealth.
The commission approval today allows for total control of all phases of internet activity, from access, to speech.
That is an absolute lie. The rules DO NOT cover the behavior of content providers, web site hosts, or Internet users.
Those that have built the backbone are not going to be allowed to control it
While net neutrality technically covers the backbone providers, they are already operating under net neutrality so there is no change to their operations. The rules are targeted at consumer ISPs, which have started trying to put blocks on the Internet. A logical conclusion of their path is to, for example, require Free Republic to pay them in order to reach their customers, which is us. I'm sure advertising sites with deep pocket donors like DU can afford to pay. What about FR?
If you cannot profit from an investment, you’re not going to make it, so no more internet expansion.
The rules make no statement as to how much ISPs can charge their customers.
Seriously, are you going for a record on the number of lies and distortions you can pack into one post?
