    http://www.cnbc.com/id/37779304[^] For almost two decades the U.S. government has kept its meddlesome mudhooks off the Internet, freeing it to spread its kudzu-like tendrils into the global economy. And it worked. Some telecom execs say the FCC’s agenda is downright radical. It could thwart high hopes for the wireless Internet, centerstage of the next digital revolution. The agency assault could restack the pecking order of winners and losers and reshape their stock prices, affecting the portfolios of millions of retirees and investors. It would impose new burdens on big carriers, while granting new power to content purveyors like Google This is just one part of their plan to fuck up the internet, their other more serious part of the plan is their "cybersecurity" bullshit where they command ISPs to shutdown service or block certain websites during a "national emergency". Its totally criminal, and they need to be thrown in prison for everything illegal they have done. Bribery, theft, unlawful unconstitutional actions such as this and the millions of other bullshit laws they have passed.

        No! I am angry, I am sick and tired of these fuckheads that think they own us and constantly rob us of all our liberties, property, and wealth. Fuck them all to hell. The internet is way to important for them to fuck up, it is absolutely intolerable for them to even talk about touching the internet.

            Their "plan" is to enforce net neutrality. Something which has been the backbone of the internet since its inception, and which certain ISPs have got it into their heads to do away with to protect their main business (cable).

              No, their plan is to control the internet. The cybersecuirty bullshit has nothing to do with neutrality, unless you are talking about neutralizing free speech and media.

                Did you read the whole article? did you understand what it says?

                Google played a key role in sparking this spat, under the well-crafted buzzwords “net neutrality.” The search behemoth basically wants the FCC to guarantee that a big carrier can’t refuse to deliver Google’s content on its network.

                The FCC, prodded by Google, wants to ban giant carriers from differentiating the way they handle various kinds of traffic, requiring them to treat all content—whether it's a fat video downloaded from YouTube or a slender little photo zapped from your cell phone—"in a nondiscriminatory manner."

                It's about regulating the carriers, when they decide if they want to let you watch a site or not!!!, it's about opening the net!! because all the customers of a carrier, lets say AT&T like to download movies, AT&T decides to slow down or even block the site(s), yes, they invested money, but how do you feel now about the carriers restricting what you can watch or not?? it's not the government who is trying to control your life, are those evil companies. I have this feeling that a conversation with you goes like this "blah blah blah more money blah blah blah taxes blah blah blah control blah blah spend blah blah blah" and then you blow up, "more money to taxes!!!!, kill the government!!!" when the original convo was "I just received more money back from my taxes refund this year I need to control myself to not to spend it in 1 week" Seriously, learn to understand and read the WHOLE article before posting your BS here

                I want to die like my grandfather- asleep, not like the passengers in his car, screaming!

                  ISPs can do whatever they want. If consumers don't like the service they are getting they can buy service from another ISP, its called free-market. This is just a stepping stone for the government to come in and say they can control every single aspect of the internet. They start with something that ignorant people who don't know any better would support, thinking its to "protect" them from the big bad businesses. And they go at it in another direction simultaneously in the name of cybersecurity and national disaster situations to grab even more power. Eventually the two strategies meet and they have complete and absolute control over the internet. And they prosecute those who try to get around their regulations and controls.

                    So, let me get this strait. CSS, the paranoiac with delusions of adequacy, is 100% A-OK with ISPs doing deep inspection of all his internet packets so as to decide which content providers and services he is allowed to use? Here's a question for you, if Infowars refuses to pay their protection fee to your ISP, and your access to them gets shut off, will you still be OK with it? Not that it's likely that ISPs will go that far, but that is exactly the sort of thing the "net neutrality" regulations are being designed to prevent.

                      If that's what I paid for, that's what I get. I would buy service from a different ISP though. Good ISPs are in demand, nobody wants crap like that from the government or ISPs. There is money to be made selling secure, private, and free (as in freedom) internet. What don't you understand about competition and making profits? Anything that will hurt a companies profits is bad, censorship and handicapping certain sites is bad business, bad for their bank accounts. But the cencorship and control is exactly what the government has in mind though, and they need to convince people that its to "protect" them from big bad businesses when in reality its the government that is big and bad.

                        Let's not forget that these regulations will also slow down growth, advancement, and innovation of the internet, increase the price of the service across the board, and deteriorate the quality of the service. Not to mention it costs taxpayers money for the government to screw up the internet.

                          Oh relax. Enforcing net neutrality is a good thing. The other part of shutting down websites etc - that's already possible (and easy).

                            Widely known fact: Comcast sucks. But many people still use Comcast, many of them because their area isn't covered by other ISP's. That should change in theory (because of the demand), but in practice it does not.

                              There are always alternative ISPs, even if it means going to 3G/4G/WiMax wireless. There is satalight, and DSL, Cable. The reason why there might be only one cable provider is because of the government regulations. Cable is a monopoly due to government regulaitons.

                                There are always alternative ISPs, even if it means going to 3G/4G/WiMax wireless. There is satalight, and DSL, Cable. The reason why there might be only one cable provider is because of the government regulations. Cable is a monopoly due to government regulaitons.

                                Wireless always sucks.

                                  I had sprint mobile broadband for a year. I downloaded 20gb a month, and uploaded many GB a month. It was fast, and always worked.

                                    How fast? No I just looked it up - Sprint Mobile Broadband is not fast at all, in fact it is not even "normal", it is slow[^]

                                        See edit + the link, it's slow. Upload speeds and average latency are not even mentioned even though they are the most important.

                                          It worked just fine for me, I use the internet for everything and use tons of bandwidth.
