Net Neutrality General

That’s not their job to punish wrongdoing, FCC makes the rules, Federal Trade Commission punishes.

>but they're still not going to do anything about it

then that’s just a shame

A spokesman mentions the FTC in the clip, not gonna say where so you’ll have to watch through the video (if you feel like it).

This will be a slow process, but it most likely will happen. Some ISPs have already started to change their TOS and Policy agreements.

You got a source on that?

The simple fact that this thread is not replete with horror stories and complaints of paying $1.99 per search and slower speeds is strong evidence that allot of people were less then accurate on this issue.
Very Very less then accurate :slight_smile:
5G this year and 6G down the road. Gigabit per second in your pocket.


Old story, all the fear-porn peddlers had this info available

These came out this week. Luckily Level1techs avoided this hypetrain as did a few others and have not lost credibility .

Manufactured outrage.
I am not a lawyer, but i do know enough to understand NN and why it wasn’t the greatest idea to keep it (I grew up around lawyers, and ended up studying law quite a bit). Many do not have that skill, and that’s fine, but out of the multiple discussions i had in person and online only one conversation that I had I was actually taken seriously. I explained much of what Robert McDowell did and then some in most of those discussions. It’s one of those things that regardless of how much you know, how you present it, or even how it actually plays out won’t matter to many.

Just watch, in a year people will still be saying NN was necessary, I’m a bit disappointed but I’m glad L1T had the wherewithal to not involve themselves in this train wreck of emotions.

I guess you missed the hour long episode that L1T did with Paul explaining why NN is important and why cancelling it is a bad idea. You can lie to yourself all you want but do not present people that have very clearly taken a stand on the matter as having a different opinion. Its bad sportsmanship.

dang i guess i did.
well shoot, i guess i’ll give them the same benefits that i give everyone else.
A limited understanding of all the other laws pre and now post NN that protects us.

Not bad sportsmanship, just missed it.
I didn’t see or remember anything about NN and i figured they just didn’t cover it.

thanks for reinforcing my previous statement concerning reasoning with NN advocates.
I am assuming you are in support based off your tone and the context, if i’m wrong please enlighten me

Hey maybe if we sit done and actually talk about what the bill and title II actually does. I too may get some death threats and oh how i love that. Actually no i don’t, best wait till it’s proven effective beyond any shadow of a doubt before review… i’m thinking 6 months?

It has been talked to death and there is nothing more to be told…There is no reasonable discussion to be had any more.

We will see the results in the future…I just hope that the US policies do not spill out to Europe. I tend to enjoy being in a country with strong NN laws.

That’s where we stand i guess.
I’m just happy it’s over finally.
But i fear for Europe’s future with their issues concerning the internet. But that’s another discussion for another day.

There is a huge difference between inviting someone else to discuss it and going full tilt "Ajit Pai is killing the Internet"

Hype:

From the 1934 FCC bill to the 1980’s there was not a lot of innovation in telecoms


Europe has strong NN laws…oh yea

NN was just a new version of the “Fairness Doctrine” which was repealed under Ronald Reagan.
There was nothing “Fair” about it. It was dubbed the “Hush Rush” law and defeated.

I’m satisfied with that outcome

This pleases meee

more power to states, and we can see if NN actually makes a difference between states that have it and states that dont

This is not an ideal solution, but it is an acceptable one.

Hopefully after a change in administration Congress passes laws mandating true net neutrality nationwide, including zero-rating.

i disagree
