Don't worry, Google will figure it out.
NN is a lousy idea because it attempts to too broadly regulate something. The Open Internet order recognized a dozen non-neutral technologies ( http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/pdf/Downes02152011.pdf) that are already in the internet that help consumers. The problem is that the ruling would mean ONLY those 12 are available, if a company finds a 13th way to optimize the internet....sorry no dice. In theory you don't WANT a neutral internet, I want video data optimized to flow faster than text data for example.
That's what you aren't understanding. Now they can throttle your internet and outright block sites as Netflix unless you pay extra. They can basically turn the internet into cable TV. Meaning you will be paying more than you already are and will be only visiting websites based on what internet package you choose. If Pewter Report isn't in that package, guess what? No more posting for you. You must not understand technology and what freedoms are being ripped from you. This comment shows how uneducated you are on the subject.
No you don't understand the technology and how the net isn't neutral right now and how, for example, if you watch Netflix or Youtube or Hulu that is good for you. Can you imagine an internet being limited in terms of technology by a law passed in 2013? That shows how uneducated you are on the subject.Yes, in theory they could start charging you for access to "premium" content but the ISP's wont be the ones who do that - to use your cable model - the providers don't charge a crap ton for HBO. The distributors do. The cable company merely passes that charge onto you.The bigger worry, which this law would do nothing to stop, is that Facebook starts charging for access or you tube. In places where you do have access to multiple providers you have an option to walk from one to the other and in places where you dont we have anti-trust laws that could solve any abuses. This law doesn't add anything to your options except to have the evolving technology of the internet limited by what the "best" minds of the government think are acceptable technologies.
Just so we are clear you are not referring to net neutrality with that statement, are you? Because if you are then I want you to know that you don't know what you're talking about. Net neutrality has been around as long as the internet. It was definitely not created in 2013. As the internet is right now there is total freedom to visit whatever website you want as much as you want. Using however much bandwidth you are paying for. Well guess what you are being short sighted and selfish in your thinking just like the government. Guess what Dal? There are a lot of cities that DON'T have choices in ISP's. Some only have one choice and that is all you get. Meaning hey we see you are using a lot of bandwidth from Netflix we are going to have to raise you bill by 10 dollars because of it. So without net neutrality they can double dip you for money. Just because of what website you use. If you think that is a good thing for the internet you should just stop trying to sound like you are informed. What background do you have with internet and computers? Very curious to know. I'm going to guess not much. Have you even built your own computers? Do you have what you are getting when you choose your internet speeds? Very curious for you to answer those questions. Without using Google of course. I'm willing to bet you don't know. Sounds like you are a republican. I don't know how anyone can take Verizons and the government's side on this one. You know Verizon the same company that gives away personal info. You know the same government that has been spying on us in more ways than we thought.Killing net neutrality gives the ISP's a chance to be bought out. What I mean by this is someone from government that you seem to trust oh so much can pay an ISP to slow down access to certain websites that trash on them. Resulting in people not visiting those sites because they now take just too long to load. You are giving the ISP's reigns over what websites load fast and what ones load slow. So you are getting slower speeds meaning you are not getting the speeds you are promised. This slows things down, not speeds them up. It gives the ISP's a chance to essentially censor the internet. This is just what the government wanted so now they can reach into those deep pockets and basically censor stuff they don't want people to see. You can continue being a government sheep that doesn't bother me. Have fun with a killed internet and freedoms. Oh and have fun paying more and getting less. Go read about Google fiber and what made them start in the first place. Here I'll post a little for you. I think Google knows computers and internet better than our government and especially better than you."Time Magazine on September 14, 2012, said that rather than wanting to actually operate as an internet service provider, the company was just hoping to shame the major cable operators into improving their service so that Google searches could be done faster"
Don't worry, Google will figure it out.
Google is smart. They know if they roll out Google Fiber everywhere they will literally kill off every ISP. $70 dollars a month you can get 1GB/1GB that is INSANE! No other ISP touches that. Especially not at that price. You can get that and TV as well for $120 which isn't horrible considering what you are getting.
Net neutrality (also network neutrality or Internet neutrality) is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/15/internet-without-net-neutrality-_n_4604385.html
