Lots of stupid rules, lots of civil servants with too much authority, big business will benefit and ordinary folks will be screwed. Look at FSA, DMV, health care, and so on.buddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-92076677092926340192015-03-04T10:02:14.728-05:002015-03-04T10:02:14.728-05:00It seems that nobody is contesting the principle o...It seems that nobody is contesting the principle of net neutrality, only how it's implemented. Ultra-liberals say that the industry is self-regulating, so I don't see why they make such a fuss about a formal regulation, it wouldn't change anything "if" there is already an informal one.<br /><br />The thing is that as usual, there is no such self-regulation, see Comcast vs. Netflix, where Comcast was slowing down Netflix's traffic in favor of Comcast's own streaming service. As well throw the whole legislation away if they think people and companies are self-regulating...<br /><br />The claims that net neutrality regulations would affect Internet speed between providers is equally laughable. In the case of Europe, the telecoms regulations were actually what drove Internet speed up, as well as what brought us triple play (the ménage à trois of Internet, phone and television), by opening some of the previously public-owned telcos to the private sector and to competition. 26 euros ($29)/month gets you DSL or 1Gbps fiber with Internet, television (160 channels), and free calls to 120 countries and to all mobiles in France, USA and China, €20 without the free mobile calls.<br /><br />Good luck with the trip and hospital, Ed!Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-34779154025327765442015-03-04T07:09:10.567-05:002015-03-04T07:09:10.567-05:00We could use your prayer today.
