| Inhibiting investments
"... regulations that could inhibit investment in networks"
Does anyone have even a remote idea what he means by this, or what he's referring to?
I cease to see how neutral access rules could inhibit someone from investing (think: stock) in any of the big players, or equally investing in transport providers (fibre, etc.)
I just don't get it. I'm sure someone else out there does, so please help me understand what he means by this.

whatever company Martin ends up at after this should be heavily investigated (passed over for contracts, the works!), if only for punishing them for employing such a complete waste that has led us in the wrong direction.
fingers crossed... |

How exactly are networks not "open" these days?
It is still illegal for an ISP to block access to a given content provider.

Perhaps dedicated and guaranteed Internet service, like a T1, might be more appropriate for people who would not like to have capped or throttled Internet.

Perhaps dedicated and guaranteed Internet service, like a T1, might be more appropriate for people who would not like to have capped or throttled Internet. Once again, it's all about the money. Falsely elevating the prices of services to hinder growth of that service is bad enough. Like everyone has said numerous times, this is to stifle their own need to invest and compete. Proven by the move by Time Warner to open a video store, and not count it against their cap.

Like everyone has said numerous times, this is to stifle their own need to invest and compete. I agree with you that insanely low caps are ridiculous, and I practiced what I preached when I dropped AT&T's internet service for my phone when they introduced a 5MB cap on my data plan.
But as I pointed out, other options are out there if you are willing to pay the money. If things were that bad, then even these options would not exist.

Re: Inhibiting investments
Inhibiting investments in improving networks and increasing internet access is exactly what has happened during Kevin Martin's time as Chairman of the FCC. Reducing competition for AT&T has not and will not increase such investment. |
