I'm against anything that interferes with letting buisness alone. The government's job is not to play mommy and daddy for the net. Read the wiki article on net neutraility. Most of the arguements AGAINST net neutrality are more convincing than the ones in favor. | |||

Face it, some things NEED to be regulated. Those who get power do not want to give it up, same with money. They could do all they want for pure profits without government regulation. Customer service? Who needs it if you're a monopoly. (edited by Shadic on 07-09-06 05:35 AM) |

The real question would be if this would affect anyone else (say, me), other than make certain dumb politicians over here think it's the right thing to do. I think I signed that page long ago.
"Telecom lobbyist Mike McCurry recently warned that net neutrality laws "will dampen investor interest in building bigger, faster, smarter pipes," which he argues will ultimately lead to an Internet slowdown." Yeah.. because we totally don't have cheapass 100mbit available to lots of people in Sweden . Liars~. (edited by Jilkon on 07-09-06 07:38 AM) |

Personally, I like my internet the way it is.
Currently, when I sign up for an ISP in Australia, I'm paying for internet access. That's it -- I'm not paying for a specific content (although I do get some lovely free mirrored traffic depending on ISP's), I'm not paying to use a specific VoIP solution, I'm just paying for internet access. With that internet access, I can do whatever the fuck I like, and it's not going to cost me more or less, be prioritised higher or lower, or whatever. I can browse whatever website I like, I can use whatever VoIP service I like, I can torrent, I can play whatever games I like and visit whatever IRC channel I wish, it's all the same as far as my connection is concerned. At the moment, the way some of these things have been proposed, I don't see any great benefits that are worth losing the current freedom I have with regards to the internet. I like my freedom and I like my choice. I don't want my ISP to discriminate against anything. |
