The FCC pretty much always wanted this. It means they'll be able to bring in more funding.

If neutrality means freedom to distribute child porn and bomb recipes then probably not.

Not with unlimited bandwidth its not. If they went old-school AOL and charged a person by the minute/GB then limits on specific web sites would take care of themselves.

I'm talking about monitoring vs restricting. The liberals will resstrict, they will do everything in their power to shut down things that aren't on their side. It's true wether you admit to it or bash my "Stupidity".

I have nothing against them monitoring my calls or emails if they suspect I'm up to something. So if I'm email something and they pick up some key words, then I don't mind monitoring.

Funny how liberalism is always praised and yet all throughout history it's been worse than when capitalism, concervatism, etc. was going strong.

Hate to quote myself but...

Charging by the minute/GB/whatever would also make people more vigilant about controlling their networks... which would make that rule that Germany passed completely unnecessary. When shit is relatively free, no one respects it.

Wait, hold on, why are you associating a regulatory move by the FCC with the inane ramblings of Napolitano? In what way is this FCC move linked to the wet dreams of the DHS?

Actually, the liberals would probably be in favour of allowing us too have internet freedoms. They're very lenient.

It's Progressives you gotta watch out for.

Uh... no. ISP's make enough money as it is. To then make it so they limit bandwidth to sites depending on how much a site pays them to connect to them is just highway robbery.

Harmor mentioned "anemic growth". That would occur if ISP's were allowed to negate net neutrality.

So, having the FCC ensure that net neutrality remains in place is a good thing. It would also be nice if they outlawed bandwidth caps, because they are entirely unnecessary for our system.
