i like the internet the way its set up now.
That means you like it without the net neutrality regulations you claim it needs, yet you still want the government to fix it.
On top of that, you think I am stupid because I am pointing this out to you.
Oh ok, its clear you have no idea what this is about. Net Neutrality is keeping the internet as it is now. The change we are talking about is if the corporations defeat net neutrality.
To put it simply....You like the Internet now? Thats because of Net Neutrality. You want it to change? Then you are anti-Net Neutrality.
I think you are thinking that since Obama wants it, it must be bad. Without any information you are arguing against what you currently liike.
No it is not.
Net neutrality is the ideal that broadband providers and content providers are separate entities. The real world internet, the one we have today, does not work that way, and that is why the FCC keeps hitting a wall when it tries to regulate net neutrality.
I am going to post this again because all the idiots seem to think they have the answers when they don't even know what the problem is. Under current law companies are classified as either telecommunication services, which transmit data, or information services, which process data. In 2002 the Bush administration sided with ISPs and ruled that, since they provided email and web pages, they were information services, not telecommunication services.
Scalia, in his indomitable style, thought that was no different than ruling that, because a pet store gave every customer who bought a dog a leash, that proves that they don't sell pets, they sell leashes.
To enforce net neutrality, the FCC has to decide that Verizon is a common carrier - Businessweek
That is the internet we have to day, the one you claim you want, yet are fighting against by arguing for something that won't fix the problem. The FCC has to reclassify anyone that provides telecommunications access as a telecommunications provider, even if they throw in a free email account. That would, in one stroke, end your drooling insistence that you want the internet we have today, and actually proves that you don't want the internet we have today.
But, please, I am begging you, tell me again that I don't understand the issue.
