Feds Can't Enforce Net Neutrality

[FA_Q2]

Look another ******* retard who doesn't understand why the regulations where in place. She just see government and instantly is against it.

**** you, and the fact you are to ******* stupid to understand the fact the regulations where keeping the Internet open for everyone to use.

Stupid low information voters.

Stop looking in the mirror and you might not have to see so many people that have no clue about what net neutrality accomplishes.

great more nothing

Actually, I gave you something. You on the other hand have posted nothing more than ad homonyms and bullshit blathering. It’s funny that you think your hackery actually deserves more.

People are held hostage by their cable providers enough with having no other choices.

The competition is not there. It's just a monopoly.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Bullshit.

Feds Can't Enforce Net Neutrality: What This Means For You : All Tech Considered : NPR

In a landmark ruling Tuesday, a federal appeals court has struck down key parts of the Federal Communications Commission's open-Internet rules, effectively ruling that the federal government cannot enforce net neutrality. Put more simply, it can't require that Internet service providers treat all traffic equally.

this isnt a good thing and sadly people will defend this ruling.

Judges did, however, preserve the disclosure requirements that say while Verizon and other carriers can make some traffic run faster or block services, they have to tell subscribers they're doing it.

This is what Free market gets you for people always claiming that free market is the way to go. Dont start bitching when USMB starts loading slower for you via your ISP and is blocked because it doesnt jive with the ISP's political agenda.

Am old enough to remember the web when it was still new and wholly unregulated. Was a lot better then. Once it got commercialized, everything turned to poop. Users should be very concerned about any government attempts to regulate the web or net in general. Last big change they made was removing porn from usenet. But it shows how the government can indeed control what we can access online. 1st Amendment doesn't seem to apply online and that's something we should all worry about. Porn today, political dissent tomorrow?

 

[ClosedCaption]

USMB will deliver slower speed to ******* idiots and Liberals, so Plasma will be double slow!

Oh nose!

This is the same "it doesnt affect me so I dont care" republican attitude that brought us the Patriot Act.

They never think it will come back on them.

Don't like the fact that your provider slows your traffic because you're a self-admitted dick?
Get a new provider.
-That's- the free market.
:roll:

Silly rabbit. Theres a monopoly. Thats not a free market.

I like the internet the way it is today. Anyone who thinks some sites should be slower based on arbitrary guidelines is an idiot.

Remember repubs thought the Patriot act was a good idea when they had the Presidency. It wasnt until Obama took office they realized how it can be used against them.

Dont wait until one of the "liberal media" who controls the servers slows down your favorite site to realize why this is a bad idea. Who will you complain too? Where will you go? How will you fix it?

Then you'll realize you've placed the entire internet flow into the hands of a few Corporations. Whats the worst that can happen? Think China.

 

[eflatminor]

You like paying more for less?

I like voluntary choice.



Try again. No libertarian supported DHS. Fail...again.

You would think that you would have learned from being that ******* willfully ignorant just to spite liberals.

Ah yes, yet another example of a leftist that cannot argue with specificity, logic or reason resorting to childish name calling. Color me shocked...

Now you are just being dense, maybe you could show you actually have grasp on this subject rather than just being a jackass because it is clear you do not know what you are even arguing for or against here and just taking a contrary position.

Doubling down on the childish name calling I see. Great plan.

I know exactly what net neutrality is all about. I have considered your position for regulation and rejected it. If you don't like your ISP, choose an alternative. Their property, their right to allocate resources.

 

[eflatminor]

No.

Typical "I want it my way...but I'm not willing to work for it" collectivist response. That's for confirming your overwhelming sense of entitlement.

You really don't understand the topic of net neutrality do you?

Actually, I do. What your response makes abundantly clear is that you do not understand the concept of competition and voluntary choice.

 

[Darkwind]

Good grief, it's amazing how some panic when government doesn't have control over something. What to do? Libs are in a panic. How horrible would it be if they couldn't copy and paste the daily talking points as quickly? I think we'll survive.

Ask yourself, "Can I trust my cable provider to be fair?" they were suing for the right to be as unfair as they want and to squeeze more money from us and by god you guys took their side over the American consumer, how screwed up is that?

What is really sad about this remark is that I can trust My cable provider MORE than I can trust My government.

 

[eflatminor]

Great you don't understand the subject at all...

Of course, when you can't respond with logic or reason, an ad hominem attack is the way to go...

You didn't give out any logic..you proved nothing more than zero understanding on the subject.

I understand perfectly. By your way of thinking, the government should regulate car manufacturers to ensure every model goes at exactly the same speed. After all, we can't have someone paying for a fast car...

Again, if you so believe that all ISPs are so corrupt and inattentive to the needs of their customers, a new competitor that provides the same access speed to all will surely emerge and dominate the market. Problem solved.

I reject your collectivist approach to any and all perceived problems.

yeah, kind of reminds Me of Obamacare. Same government meddling to make things better....but that never actually happens. It just gets worse.

I agree that an entity can decide to provide/charge what it wishes.
However, a choice of two vendors for most of the nation does not provide competition.
CableVision and Verizon FIOS, for instance, have established their infrastructure and have decided for the foreseeable future that there will be no further expansion.

On the other hand, some clever people WILL come up with ways to circumvent the current established Providers, as necessity is the mother of invention.

What the collectivists around here seem to miss...the very basis of freedom, that of private property.

However, a choice of two vendors for most of the nation does not provide competition. CableVision and Verizon FIOS, for instance, have established their infrastructure and have decided for the foreseeable future that there will be no further expansion

While they are dominate, there are alternative choices.

I switched from CableVision to FIOS five years ago because Cable's wires weren't Fiber Optic.
Now if I switch, CableVision simply uses the Fiber Optic Wire laid down by FIOS.
I also want to avoid wireless until 4G becomes more stable, but I suspect 4G WILL become much more stable in the very near future.

 

[Plasmaball]

Because no government on the planet has ever, or will ever, think about restricting access to the internet.

Unless, of course, we count China, Australia, the European Union, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and every other ******* government on the planet as governments.

America doesn't restrict you. Sigh..

I can actually prove that the United States restricts access to the internet. If I do, will you stop posting here?

Never mind, I know the answer.

While you sit there sputtering about how the US government doesn't restrict the internet feel free to educate yourself with just one example of how it does.

Typically, people bundle because they don't look around. I can get the exact same aDSL service AT&T bundles with their over priced phone for less than what idiots who bundle pay for their phone.

ok so you decided to shop around and get the best deal...

It is far from the best deal. I chose the one that gives me what I want.

the best deal would be internet for maybe 25 bucks and wonderful speeds like S. Korea.
But we are going backwards

wow they removed porn from usenet and now you can get it free regardless. Yawn. Again Net Neutrality is about not constricting the net.
the internet right now is the ultimate free market place. Take the big search engines again. right now ( depending on your own personal speed) they all basically search at the same speed. Thus you get to pick and choose which engine is your favorite. you remove the regulations in place and this wont be the case. You could get a situation where a ISP buys out a search engine and makes sure that engine works best on their Isp while the other is sluggish.
