There's a lot of information out there, but it takes time to understand this issue. Too many people think they are informed by soundbites. |

You wouldn't mind ISPs being able to favor certain content so that some is faster than others?

There are very good reasons why a customer would want their ISP to favor one type of packet over another. |

Gloucester Chief thinks crack should be legal. He's an extremist libertarian if not anarcho-capitalist. He doesn't think the govt should have a role in anything except protecting his property.

Again, maybe its a Fox News misinformation thing, It's about double charging for that bandwidth. And huge corporations being able to buy up all the bandwidth and squeeze out small businesses. |

According to USA Today, no one outside of the FCC has actually seen the 317-322 pages regarding this regulation. I will be curious to see what else is in there. The main issues everyone who seems to champion seems to be a no brainer and you have to wonder why it would take a year and 322 pages to say that ISP's cannot sell preferential treatment?

As I said in the DC thread this is a good thing and I support it but there will be unintended consequences from their action. It had to happen though to keep the ISP's from killing content providers like Netflix, Amazon etc and also to allow me to continue to watch porn without all the stuttering and downloading bittorrents.
