an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Definitely. I'm sure it'll just be an "ounce" of regulation. Or however much 300 pages weighs. Not as much as Obamacare, that's for sure!
I really can't believe anyone who likes fast internet wants COMCAST to start rough ridin' with it.
So let me get this straight - Comcast and Verizon throttled the speed of the largest consumer of bandwidth on the planet - Netflix - so now we need the government to step in and regulate the internet like a public utility? Are you really so libtarded that you actually believe government intervention, as opposed to the free market, is going to make this better?
Free market will not correct an industry with local monopolies and a recent history of mergers.
I know that we are better off because of publicly regulated energy, water, and sewer.
With the Internet being a medium for banking, job searches, government payments, learning etc it has become a standard for the business of conducting life. All of us should have reasonable broadband and no single person, business, or entity should be priced out because of a private monopoly.
Internet providers use public right of ways and because of that the public should have a say.
