Net Neutrality is bad policy that will hurt consumers and frankly is down right illegal. Hopefully with an all-hands-on-deck approach, we can come together to stop net neutrality as quickly as possible.

The same argument all over again. How is letting major telco monetize every bit going over the internet HELPing consumers exactly? Paying more for less functionality IS the future, if the telco's have their way. Thanks to them carving up the country, there is precious little choice for consumers at their house, when it comes to internet options.

The present form of net neutrality is BAD. But some of the core points of it are not.

What the hell, I thought this was OVER!!! That’s what the headlines said 3 months ago right here at FR.

I am in the business of providing broadband Internet services. There is no doubt in my mind that I will be raising my prices.

There are embedded in the rules record keeping and log maintenance rules that will require me to alter my practices. You see my company isn’t large enough to afford the equipment necessary to restrict bandwidth from certain places or with certain content. If you buy a 4 meg package you get 4 megs.

BUT I will STILL have to keep logs for years, fill out some stupid paperwork reports, and I am sure spend time responding to complaints. I may have to buy some other pieces of hardware so I can monitor every connection to make sure they are getting the full boat. And I will have to gather statistics so I can post them “conspicuously” on my web site so as to be “more transparent”. I figure that at a minimum my monthly price will have to increase by at least $5 to cover these additional costs.

I may have to raise it more after I read the entire rules as posted but $5 is a starting point.

My customers can thank the FCC.

Wasn’t the FCC already slapped down by the courts who said they did not have the legal authority to regulate the Internet? So much for the rule of law in this country.
