I don't really understand net neutrality

[eyer]

That's not an answer to my question eyer.

Are you or are you not stating the internet as a market is currently being stifled by draconian policy?

It's a yes or no question eyer....I repeat....it's a yes or no question.

~ pats little punk on the head ~

You sure seem to be having a rough time with your....I repeat........

...here:

My issue is making and keeping all Americans' access to the Internet as unrestricted as possible while, at the same time, establishing America as having the fastest and most dependable Internet speeds and service the world offers...

...but where I live, I cannot work on that goal until I'm successful at getting State regulation law overturned, law that dictates that local governments and private citizens cannot conceive ideas of their own and put them into free market practice to make their own communities leaders in the world Internet race.

The Internet market needs to be totally opened up...

...not so draconianally regulated.

There will be no more vital American economic/employment issue in the next 50 years than to make the Internet the awesome tool it has the potential to be for so many people. Today in America, we are stifling ourselves of that grand opportunity...

Better, wannabe?

Interesting (to say the least...lol) this morning on CNBC and had to laugh when Joe asked him "I thought it was a monopoly?..." and he got that deer in the headlights moment...

Tumblr CEO on net neutrality - CNBC

Basically, it comes down to whether you believe that the rich should be able to fuck everyone up the arse because they're rich.

maybe you should say no to the drugs, get a job, and stop being a burden to working people?

just say no to welfare

more government is never a good thing ...


remember, government is where the stupid and lazy go to work as these people could never have real jobs

Forbes: Net Neurtrality is a Big Win for both Consumers AND Corporations

Net neutrality goes far beyond any subset of websites. If phone and cable companies can block sites or create slow lanes, they could affect any business. Speech platforms would be affected: Facebook or YouTube could crush Tumblr or Vimeo if their sites load merely a fraction of a second faster. People spend less time and less money on slow loading sites, including those that buffer. Carriers could also block or discriminate in any sector of our economy: e-commerce like Etsy, online education like General Assembly, payments processing like Dwolla, crowdfuding like Kickstarter, even ride-sharing like Lyft. They could even discriminate against churches, who also spoke up, and communities of color including the Voices for Internet Freedom also expressed major concerns. The whole web was at stake.

And yet thumbsuckers such as Ishmael, Vetteman and Eeyore still try to convince us that Net Neutrality is a "tax increase".

Wait what? I haven't been following this thread. Are you making fun of them or did someone actually say that?

now we will have socialist internet.

obama, taking America from a leader to something on par with Cuba

Here and on the politics board, those Three Stooges have convinced themselves that Net Neutrality is costly meddlesome gummint intervention, and the free hand of the market giving us a reacharound would be a better solution.

I think I may go back and read that. It sounds... time consuming. And I'm bored. Costly? I have to know how they think that not allowing a company to have multiple pricing tiers is going to somehow cost taxpayers rather than no one.

Ah, look at Rubby post "Net Neutrality" with capital letters hoping someone - anyone - thinks he knows anything more than he actually doesn't...

...while posting to LIT at work on his employer's dime, no doubt in between illegally downloading others' copyrighted works for his own criminal use.

And still trying to sell the fantasy that total Title II regulation of the Internet will come without regulatory fees and additional taxes, just like the little lemming Obamanetter punk he is...

...yet unable to factually cite a single instance of any comparable enactment of total regulation which hasn't come with regulatory fees and additional taxes.

In fact, the millions and millions of dollars of new costs to American taxpayers will begin the very moment after the 3-2 vote in favor of total Title II regulation is cast...

...when the first suit is filed for injunction against that very vote.

Nobody evokes black helicopters/chemtrails/tinfoil hattery better than Ish.

Of course, massive tax and fee increases. Content control, spill over into the TV market and production price controls.

And what is the consumer going to get for these increased taxes and fees? Not a God damned thing. Better get used to the 'buffering' icon on your 'puter and smart TV because you're going to be seeing a lot of it if these regs are allowed to stand.

Ishmael

This is going to cost the consumer approx. $7-9/month/customer. What are you going to get for this money? Absolutely NOTHING!!!!

What this is all about in reality is an attempt to enforce the "Fairness Doctrine" on the internet. And that doctrine has nothing to do with access or bandwidth and everything to do with content control.

What I'm seeing here is that the democrat controlled FCC is being pilloried for voting (tomorrow) to apply utility regulations to the ISPs so as to grant the FCC authority to require that the internet isn't throttled or preference given to some sites.

But the GOP has introduced, essentially, the same legislation in Congress.

Should we be tar-and-feathering the GOP law makers as well?

 

[JohnnySavage]

It could be that a black man is in charge of the FCC while the Congress is co-led by an orange man and a red neck.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

it blows one's mind, when the retarded obama kind think that having the government involved the enterprise is a good thing. however, the obama kind do not have brains therefore there is nothing to blow.

remember, only the stupid work in government ...

Again with your amateur relativism:

"essentially, the same legislation".

While, in fact, the GOP's proposed legislation does hold a lot of what even FCC Chairman Wheeler favored before President Obama convinced him Title II is the only statist way to go...

...the GOP proposed legislation also is the complete nemesis to President Obam...I mean...Chairman Wheeler' secret, 332-pages of total Internet regulation by the fact that it specifically bars the FCC from invoking Title II at all.

Simplified:

The FCC secret plan invokes total Title II regulation over the Internet...

...the GOP public plan prohibits the FCC invoking total Title II regulation over the Internet.

Yeah...

..."essentially, the same".

Again, I laid the issue out in my first post and further posts in this thread:

The FCC was created by Congress to be an independent federal agency, specifically an independent agency instead of an executive agency precisely to prohibit any Chief Executive attempts to influence it...

...Tom Wheeler was a Democrat telecommunications industry lobbyist and a venture capitalist; he also personally raised over $500,000 for Obama political campaigns; President Obama nominated and designated Wheeler as the Chairman of the FCC.

The President has always been public about wanting the Internet under total FCC Title II regulatory control...

...until very recently, Chairman Wheeler was totally against Title II regulatory control of the Internet, just as each FCC Chairman before him has held, and again - in fact - Wheeler has supported essentially what's currently in the GOP's proposed legislation.

As Chairman of the FCC, ie, a political beneficiary of the President's partisan largesse, Wheeler has tried to do want the President basically wants - total FCC regulatory control over the Internet - while totally disagreeing with the President's draconian Title II insistence, by trying to establish that FCC control without invoking Title II...

...and he's been shot down every time in federal court because the FCC, as created and legislated by Congress, does not legally possess that type of draconian power.

After the last ruling against the FCC, Wheeler conveniently changed his mind about invoking Title II authority and has now full-heartedly adopted his benefactor's draconian stance ever since...

...Wheeler, Chairman of an FCC created by the Congress as an independenat federal government agency immune to the influence of any President, refused Congress' invitation to appear before them today for a Congressional hearing probing the President's influence over the Congress-created, independent FCC.

Wheeler basically said fuck you to Congress, the branch of federal government he constitutionally serves...

...because he partisanly favors the President he personally raised over $500,000 for more.

It could be that a black man is in charge of the FCC while the Congress is co-led by an orange man and a red neck.

Not enough to just float along with your native, amateur relativism, eh Johnboy...

...you got to drag your racist and bigoted shit along with you, too.

You're exactly the fucked-up, petty little reason political issues of such import as this are always decided in the USSA today along totally partisan lines and strictly by partisan ties...

...you partisan bozos on each side and your eternal quests for more and more power over more and more things is why the Internet is in this crucial dilemna over its very future.

For those that see no problem with the FCC plan going forward, would they also be satisfied if the current "GOP Bill" is passed and signed into law? Does that bill have any bipartisan support?

What are the objections to that bill?

What does the FCC action purport to do beyond forbidding the throttling of data streams?

 

[NeverEndingMe]

what America needs is to get the tucktard government out of the broadband and cell.

do you obama cuckold realize, if you had to pay a phone bill that we are still paying for the war of 1812.

wanna fuck something up, get those in government 'working' on it
