Re: Can someone explain network neutrality? I just hope that major players like google don't take this bent over. I mean we have corporations servicing corporations that's got to amount to some kind of tension. If the telcos get this passed and it has a serious effect on what the consumer does with their connection there will be uproar either that or the cableco just found themselves the key to competing with a better infastracture than their own. So far TW roadrunner has been great about no caps nor port blocks and I will gladly stay with them over even Verizon fios if Verizon implements this donkey shit. This corporate America crap has gotten ridiculuous in the last 10 years, I mean I'm all for capitalism and the free market, but it's going backwards... |

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | As Jason Levine does a good job of pointing out below, the large content providers might even like this type of arrangement--it results in a world where payments "under the table" set up a world of the big players who make payments to each other, thereby raising the barriers to competition from smaller players--in both the content and ISP sectors.
Without net neutrality, we could see a day where breaking into either the content or ISP businesses would be as difficult as entering a Japanese business dominated by keiretsu.
