If you like your plan you can keep it.

If you like the Affordable Care Act then you are going to just love Net Neutrality.

In short, they can offer -- and charge -- what they want. That’s good for consumers, because it means that in order to compete, they’re always trying to win and keep customers by offering better, faster service at lower rates.

Sure thing Ed. Not Commiecast. Sky's the limit with them.

ugh, no. That is NOT good for consumers. I pay for service that includes a quoted speed up and a quoted sped down, but in fine print the telcos will tell you to pound sand if you do not get these speeds - but that is another issue all together.

What consumers want, though the GOP won't tell them, is for the telcos to take you to the site or service you attempt to access through this telco connect! that you are paying for.

But what the telcos want to do, is deny you what you want by atificially slowing down your speeds, or downright blocking the site - because it competes with their own service. The telcos want to read EVERY BIT/BYTE you access on the Internet, and punish you for accessing sites and services that compete with their own.

the Internet was born, has grown up with, and exploded in usefulness ALL BASED UPON the free flow of data, and NOT discriminating upon what the end user wants.

Net neutrality is about keeping this same open protocol in place so that big and small businesses alike can compete in cyberspace, What the telcos and the politicians who get the fattest telco payments are somehow try to convince you is that a small company attempting to compete with the major telcos SHOULD get squashed like a bug by the very same telcos. That competition against the telcos is and ever shall be verboten. How do you reconcile the notion that the telcos will limit your choices and block your free access to information and services?

this is being played out by the telcos and the GOP as the government telling telcos the content they can have on their internet service, when in fact it is the opposite, it is telling the telcos that THEY CANNOT LIMIT CONSUMER CHOICE. It's pure scare tactics because the telcos do not want you to dig deeper into what is really at stake - and that is forbidding the telcos from screwing over their customers by limiting consumer choice.

go ahead telco folks, tell me ANYWHERE I am incorrect. Sure, you'll make up lots of counter arguments, but NONE will refute what I have stated above. In this case, the "dumb voters" is being counted on by the GOP, because they will give you NOTHING but the most simple of arguments - "the government is bad". Look past that people, please!!! Become MORE educated about THIS issue.

The internet will be controlled by making it part of the government school system ...
High speed for every school ... which is stupid ... unless you make it available to the HOMES of the students ...

NOW it can be governed IN THE HOME.

After all ... it's for the chi'run !

:See how well it works ?

Why don't we just make High speed the law of the land ... like digital TV ?

Five years ... tops ... and we've lost our means of communication ... 1st ammendment thwarted ... and we didn't need a Congressional convention.

I are a skuul borde d'rektah ... n'I bin suspishunin' this fer about too yeers.

When the fence jumper ran into the White House and headed for the green room, one question to ask is not how big his knife was...but what did he leave behind?

Barry appointed Comcast lobbyist Tom Wheeler and gave him the green light to create a crisis by permitting fast lanes. Now Barry wants to fix his faux crisis by getting the government tentacles on the internet. Once that happens I expect to pay new ISP taxes so that Barry can subsidize ISP access for his favored voting blocks. Then it’s also just a matter of time before Barry decides that all of the salty talk and “hate speech” on the internet needs to be addressed, etc. etc. There’s no telling what crackpot Democrat agendas will be served once the internet becomes government regulated.
