Yeah because the history of our government is so against my statement, right?

Why does recognizing the inevitable have to equate to freaking out?

I'm sure the end result will have you packing heat while surfing the 'net.

You can never be too safe.

Sometimes I like these threads. They help me to see the people who are so far out of touch that I honestly have no desire to interact with them. It's positively unfathomable to me that someone could look at the history of the internet and decide that this is a bad thing.

Have to admit I had no idea until today there were even people against net neutrality. I thought the only people against it were lobbyists, ISPs, and people who owned stock in ISPs.

I don't want to go down this rabbit hole, but I can't even begin to understand how a "free market" would consist of an Internet where the sites, goods and services I choose to engage with are not determined by me, but my ISP. That is the opposite of free. I, the consumer, don't get a choice... everything is chosen for me. That's a little too Big Brother for me.

AOL pretty much tried that. It worked for a while but they are a shell of their former self. I don't think in a free market you would have that. You would have ISPs that would prioritize games, or streaming video, or VoIP though. Offering the consumer faster speeds for what their particular hobby is.

Trying to restrict is probably a non-seller.

Why would that be a non-seller? If you don't put some kind of rule in place, Company A can just go to every ISP and pay to have Company B throttled. Why wouldn't you? The name of the game is to crush your competition. If you had the money, why wouldn't you raise your speeds while hurting your competition? If you had the ability to keep customers from going to a competitor, you'd take it.
