FCC adopts historic Internet rules | Home - Home
People will regret it soon enough.
For the sake of this thread, and anyone who happens upon it, can you tell us in an easy to understand way why regulating the Internet is harmful to the consumer. How will this FCC measure change the way we use, pay for, and access the Internet that is different from how we do the same now? Why is it that people want it, yet maybe they really don't? Why would it be better for consumers to keep the Internet the way it is rather than make this change?
And, like the article states and B33 says as well, there will be more than likely a Republican influence in higher chairs soon enough as well, and since they were pushing against this regulation, things could still change yet again.
I posted some of it in another thread.
How Net Neutrality Works---Video to Explain
Re: Interesting POV Tom Wheeler and Net Neutrality
There really aren't many people concerned with this. If the Internet works, that's all they care about. They don't care how it works, just that it does work.

That article is all in favor of NN. Maybe I should go read some corporate blogs from the ISPs. See why they believe this is bad.
Snn5 I also had a thing on my Modzilla main page saying that N.N. is a Good win win I'm still trying to figure out where the win win is I'm kind slow at some of this technical stuff but with more n more reading I'll get it I usually do.. here is what I read from Modzilla
A Major Victory for the Open Web | The Mozilla Blog
The FCC tells us that Net Neutrality will give us a free and open Internet by granting them the power to regulate it under laws that were written 60 years before the Internet existed as a common household service. They say consumers need to be protected from the possibility that Internet providers will block traffic to certain sites, or set up paid prioritization systems for consumers or web services who pay more. Sounds good? Not really. They aren’t addressing a problem that currently plagues American consumers; only a problem that they insist will probably plague us at some point.Right now Internet Providers, being private companies providing a service, do dictate certain things because that's how the free market works. But nobody really controls the conversation online or dictates the content.Yeah, you pay your bill to Verizon, you complain about the privacy settings on Facebook, but when it comes down to it, the Internet is about the only part of American life where the people really do have a freedom to voice their opinions. The government (whether its Dems or Repubs) would like nothing better than to silence the voice of their opponents. So anyone who believes that's a good thing is short sighted and naive. I fully support Verizon's opposition to net neutrality because I want to have the same freedoms that the internet provides me and all others now (even those with whom I disagree).
