Obama Urges FCC to Re-Classify Internet

[Zundfolge]

Net Neutrality is a GOOD thing. It is the foundation of the Internet as we all know it.

Just because someone uses the term "Net Neutrality" doesn't mean they're talking about the good thing you're thinking about (/me points to gun safety analogy I posted earlier).


The simple fact is if these so-called Net Neutrality rules go into effect it will mean the end of flat rate/unlimited data plans and we'll all have to start paying by the MB ... and you can kiss Netflix goodbye.

A small example: Without Net Neutrality we would all be at the mercy of our Internet providers to regulate what content we are allowed to see. Without it, things like THIS MESSAGE BOARD, would probably not exist.

The opposite is true, we have never had any government forced net neutrality before. We are ALREADY at the mercy of our ISPs and they don't regulate content because the first one to do so would go out of business in a matter of days. The free market is what kept the internet mostly free and open. Stop trying to distort the free market, it never works out well for those at the bottom.
