Like most issues there is nuance and there is complications. I'm not surprised that there are many in Silicon Valley who hate net neutrality who aren't big ISP's. I also don't think the end of net neutrality is the end of the internet. The internet will survive but I don't think it will be the same and the changes will not be good for most consumers or most small businesses. Most not all.
NN isn't a single thing, with a single definition that everyone agree on. Pure NN (no allowance for management of data for example) isn't smart. Completely anti-NN is the opposite and assume the ISP will keep consumer best interest in mind. Right. The potential danger of complete anti-NN that this FCC is pushing is very dangerous when there is no real competition among the ISP. No one argue the end of the NN (all form)is the end of the internet. The danger is in slower innovation, higher consumer price, less competition, and so on. This FCC is ignoring the public. The public by large want NN. The FCC doesn't give a damn.
Deep drill down and about the least partisan source I have found. He was an apologist for the changes until he saw the latest circulating FCC document ahead of their December meeting. http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-ne...c64629f&bhid=20923781246453276853928193245606
If we end up keeping NN, I want to see the rules actually being enforced as a title II and not cherry picked. I want to see the end of zero rating services (that TMobile and ATT are guilty of) and I want to see the end of bundling and offering free products.
Do you want to see these things or do you want to see the public's' reaction to losing these things? Don't think the public would have much outrage because these things aren't that common.
A little bit of both. I support NN because its suppose to stop zero-rating, which obviously has not been the case. I am not well versed on the restrictions of Title II, but I would imagine things like bundling would be a violation. Charter/Spectrum has stopped investing in their roaming hotspots in fear of violation. Granted, it might be an excuse for them to stop rolling it out since its not that big of a deal. So far its the wireless carriers (sans comcast) who have been strongly against NN while the terrestrial carriers have been ambivalent. Of all the FUD the leftist have been pushing about NN, they fail to understand the larger issues. ATT did a good job at helping the demise of Google Fiber, none of which NN helps. If we are going to regulate anything, it needs to be forcing utilities and government working together instead of against each other.
Unreal Comcast can simply decide that Fox News is the only news outlet I am allowed to access, and cut off CNN, MSNBC, AlJazeera, etc.
yeah much more competetion. like fkin AT&T and Infinity give a flying *** what the consumer wants. fk you fcc and fk you trump.
