      Net Neutrality more popular than the FCC thought.

          Obviously the internet needs fast lanes to survive.

            @coliver this quote right here proves that Pai and the rest of the Anti Net Neutrality congressmen have no clue at all how the internet operates.

            "Chairman Pai just mentioned medical diagnostics," Johnson said. "You might need a fast lane within that pipeline so those diagnoses can be transmitted instantaneously and not be held up by, I don't know, maybe a movie streaming."

              Right... There are provisions in the current Net Neutrality rules specifically for tele-medicine.

                And there are provisions so the FCC can stop abuses from ISP's like these.

                  Yep... Although according the Pai those never happened.

                      This one abuse I was specifically effected by and never knew it, as in one day I couldn't use my app on my phone at the time any more.

                      "VERIZON: In 2012, the FCC caught Verizon Wireless blocking people from using tethering applications on their phones. Verizon had asked Google to remove 11 free tethering applications from the Android marketplace. These applications allowed users to circumvent Verizon’s $20 tethering fee and turn their smartphones into Wi-Fi hot spots. By blocking those applications, Verizon violated a Net Neutrality pledge it made to the FCC as a condition of the 2008 airwaves auction."

                        Yep I ran into that one as well.

                          Interesting article on the spin that the NCTA is trying to spin to remove net neutrality.

                            Apparently Ajit Pai is substantially opposed to the concept of democracy, which uses the "count" of votes, not the content. He said that the count doesn't... count.

                                      We support the FCC chair's efforts to review and consider rolling back these rules and believe that the best way to get fair rules for everyone is for Congress to take action and create regulatory and economic certainty.

                                      What does economic certainty mean? That they can now make money regardless of their business strategy? That public pressure won't affect them? This seems oddly like the federal government entering into a trust with the ISPs.

                                        They did that the moment that private ISPs owning the last mile access to customers was allowed.

                                          I didn't used to agree with this, but today - oh yeah - THIS! The city should own this... it allows the possibility of choice, something we are completely lacking in today.
