Of course it will. An then we will need to spend billions on internet infrastructure "for the children". All the while the monopolies are sitting back just waiting for their big government pay day.So, that 11 billion will, in reality, morph into 100 billion. Anyone with any brain cells at all knows that kind of money IS the REAL reason for net neutrality.No matter how wrongly evil you imagine net neutrality to be, what Comcast and the other providers are wanting to do is worse. Please educate yourself on this issue from a more neutral source than some cable company bought and paid for bullshit. It's they that want to turn the internet into something other than it already is, it is they who are seeking to make it more expensive and it is they who want to treat different websites differently.
11 billion in new taxes, according to one FCC commissioner, who do you think is going to pay that?
Bullshit most of the country has no real choice in carriers and must take what monopoly happens to control their area. As to enforcing neutrality, compare it to the web version of equal rights, I know conservatives generally hate equal rights so I guess it comes naturally to want to create an internet caste system where the small fry cannot possibly become an Amazon or Ebay.[/QUOTE]You seriously did not just fucking post that shit. How is the government making cable companies treat all websites the same not government control? You are actually confused by this?Tell me how making cable companies treat every website as equal is government control? Also tell me how letting the cable company pick and choose what their customers can access and at what speed is supposed to be better than what we have now?Because government control isn't for sale to the highest bidder right? You fucking moron.
As for the second part yes, cable companies get to pick and choose what they have available and at what speeds. The consumer in turn gets to choose another carrier that does more for their needs. That's how capitalism works. Once you have net neutrality the government will decide your speed and content and you will have no other choices.
If it ain't broke let Obama fix it.You mean Koch brothers...
You mean like this guy?Look at it this way, the people who are experts on the internet and how it works advocate almost exclusively for net neutrality while the only people who want to strike it down are big cable companies, their pet politicians and people who really have not bothered to fully educate themselves on this issue.
Please do so.$196 million can't begin to compete with the Koch's and Adelson money.
Damn fool RWs will fall for this and we'll all pay more and get less.
Oh look. The village idiot decided to show up and add exactly nothing to the thread.$196 million can't begin to compete with the Koch's and Adelson money.

How many of the supporters actually think they are going to get faster and cheaper internet? Bunch of rubes.This topic reminds me of Obamacare. They scream they want it, but wait til they see what they really get...
I wonder how long it will take for at least a few to break from the pack...

Just wait for it. And the libs think everything will be 'neutralized' in their favor. Wait til another party takes the reigns.How many of the supporters actually think they are going to get faster and cheaper internet? Bunch of rubes.This topic reminds me of Obamacare.

And it will go the same way.
Let's say you have a site selling Widgets. Another much richer Widget Company wants you to be frozen out so they pay extra to the various carriers so that they get more bandwidth than you get. In fact, your site is blocked from one carrier to another. In order to get it where I can use Verizon to access, say, RoadRunner you have to pay each and every provider to allow that to happen. If left alone, this may become a reality. In fact, what the Cable Company wants is exactly that.
Net neutrality means that they can't do a slowdown or a block on your site for your widgets. And they can't add more bandwidth to the rich site by charging them extra. And only the Government can enforce such a thing as that. If you let Corporate America unchecked it will figure out a way to make more money at everyone's expense and only the ones that pay extra will get a fair deal.
