Total hot air out of that “article”. Youtube gets a heck of a living from advertisers and doesn’t need to charge for viewing any videos. Net neutrality is all about giving the FCC more power.

- Why are most self-proclaimed “experts” always radical leftwing college professors, “Progressives”, politicians with stealthy slimy financial interests and insider agendas (the average of someone in Congress is over 1.2M dollars - $1,200,000,000 - in Congress they often came to Congress often making only $19,000 a year yet spending countless millions to get elected), dingbat Socialist Elitists, &/or unaccountable scamming scummy criminals….

- Government seeks to constantly expand and control - 8000 new rules or regulations or Executive Orders costs American taxpayers huge ever-growing amounts of money through taxes, fees, and hidden grabathons - currently new rules and regulation with cost Americans 120 BILLION smackeroos a year.

- Whatta deal Lucille!

You’re confused about the issue.

This ruling means Time Warner (my ISP) could completely block YouTube. After all, Time Warner sells video content services, why would they want me to have YouTube access? Same goes double for Netflix.

The main reason I’m for Net Neutrality is that what we pay per month covers ALL of Time Warner’s costs for traffic, plus profit. YouTube and Netflix pay handsomely for their network bandwidth. There’s no justification for a further shakedown by the ISPs.

All that said, I sure hope there’s a LOT more competitive landscape for ISPs in the not distant future. I’d sure love gigabit fiber!
