| We will be buying Internet like we buy cable soon I can just picture this very soon!!!
Family internet tier... Disney.com, discovery.com, cnn.com, myspace.com....
Sport Tier... nba.com, mlb.com espn.com....
Basic tier all your government sites, msn, google
If the telco have it their way is going to be the end of the Internet as we know it. And I dare to say that all the innovation that have come from the internet will just slow down. Why? There is an extra cost!
Is really sad that or Representatives votes are influenced by this companies. As far I'm concern they stop representing thier constituency years ago... Now they are just a mediator of the Private Industries with us... |

Evergreen, CO | I'll take a healthy dose of competition over government mandated "net neutrality" regulation any day.
Telco vs. Cable vs. Wireless vs. Mobile
If Telco wants to employ a "tiered" Internet, then I'll subscribe to Cable.
If Cable wants to employ a "tiered" Internet as well, then I'll subscribe to a fixed wireless provider.
etc, etc.
Idiotic competition-stifling government regulation is the reason it has taken so long to get decent high-speed to begin with, the last thing we need is further regulation. |

Telco vs. Cable vs. Wireless vs. Mobile Yup there will be tons of competition alright,an example is what the Chicago Tri-Cities faced when trying to wired themselves.That panned out well didn't it?
All this talk of fast lane slow lane and then the direct "high speed tollroad" makes one wonder how this will shake out for line sharing.
Where,just an example, subsribers to earthlink where Earthlink buys access from SBC/ATT How will those customers be affected? Since they are technically not ATT customers,and are pretty much considered low man on the totem pole,How badly will these users be jacked around ? Will 56k dial up end up being faster?
I hope it works out well for everyone,However when one is dealing with greedy people,all greedy people know is more self derving greed.

Net neutrality is, like the telcos, not something that the cable guys want either, but they're absolutely against national cable franchising, for a number of reasons, self-interest being the main one, of course, but they do have a point on some of those reasons. For example, they've had to abide by no redlining, consumer protection standards, capital investments, etc., and now the telcos won't have to (if the Senate passes this). |
