Net neutrality! IT'S Good, not bad.
« on: November 29, 2017, 10:06:51 AM »
I'm sure alot of you have heard that FCC is finally doing what is has been thinking about doing for the last 8 years. Dismantling net neutrality for everyone on US soil so that way they can manage content on a whole new level. If you enjoy the internet you all need to get adamant about Net neutrality.

Every article I read about this bores me away before I can learn anything.  Concisely, who is behind the movement to change how things are now, and why?

So telecom companies are the sole industry or entity that want change?  Assuming so, obviously they want to make more money than they can under current rules.  Because they can't pitch it as "we want to make more money," how instead are they presenting the positives of a change?  I'm yet to hear (before I get bored) what the supposed public pro is to a change.

I don't know if those companies even attempt to make a case publicly. Might not be a good look. According to the FCC asshat (who is from Parsons, KS), though, the companies are going to take their increased profits and invest them into creating superior technologies and serving a greater number of customers.

They already make huge profits. Maybe they should consider using the money they already make instead of hoarding billions in offshore accounts.

But that's the right thing to do. So why would they ever do that?

I think the plan is to force those offshore banks to capacity with US profits so that some of it has to spill back over into our economy.

it needs a catchier phrase, something like "good internet" vs "bad internet"

I don't know.  I'm not saying it should have been repealed.  I'm just saying the panic is ridiculous.

Yea, the argument goes both ways.  If things are the same as they were before net neutrality then why repeal it?  I think the obvious answer is Trump is actually trying to do the opposite of everything that happened while Obama was president.

The concerns have been rehashed over and over.  Just because there were no widely publicized disasters before 2015 doesn't mean regulation is a bad thing.  People were making the same arguments before the housing crash in 2007-2008 ("Yea, the industry could be better regulated, but nothing bad has happened so why bother?").
