We need to do to the telecommunication companies now what the government did to Ma Bell back int he day.
Some really fucked up shit is in Baltimore City, Comcast is actually using pre-revolutionary war Ground rent laws to keep competition out.
They literally own the land their cables and equipment inhabit and refuse competitors to place cable anywhere near.
Comcast is so bad in the area, they make Verizon look like the good guys.
No, Hugo Chavez has charisma, Trump just had the bad tan. Hillary is the other side of the coin to Trump. Nether party cares about the people or the country, only their own agendas
Wow, I never got neg-bombed before. But I should not be surprised since so many people are passionate about this subject and the vast majority of the internet community likes Net Neutrality.
I do not…and I am not being sarcastic.
I want government regulation out of the ISP market to free up competition which will, in turn, create more consumer choice.
And guys: feel free to neg bomb me again and circle-jerk over it if it makes you FEEL better.
Because we don’t have to look far to see where this goes. Look at New Zealand. You want to do more than email and facebook and what little your ISP wants you to see you have to pay extra. Want youtube, that’s a extra fee, you want social networking pass facebook extra, you want SRK, that would be extra of its somehow included in the pricing structure of your ISP. Your internet will be broken up and sold all at you peice meal like t.v. cable is now. Just hope that the sites you want are included. Also having the government decide what we can see and not see in the internet is a bad, bad, bad idea.
Also, it has been proven time and time again, that when Capitalism is left unchecked by governmental force, all semblance of a Free Market ceases to exist, and monopoly and economic tyranny set in.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it were later revealed that local Puerto Rico officials were quietly stealing all the aid and enriching themselves. This is Latin America we’re talking about, after all…
Seeing as there’s a thread for this, The FCC commissioner apparently made a video basically mocking everyone on what we’ll supposedly still be able to do after Net neutrality is gone.
If this is suppose to be some kind of a joke, then it wasn’t funny.
