Minneapolis, MN | Yawn They voted to investigate an activity that isn't yet being practiced, only considered. Regulation based on a prediction of future technology-based activities is bound to be deeply flawed.
Until and unless US ISPs take widespread action to discriminate based on content provider, there's no need to rush into passing laws to prevent a non-existant problem. No harm in looking into it though. |
| The fact of the matter makes it a priority. That's because the executives of the megacorps are coming out and saying they WILL charge more for some sites. That is the worrying issue. If the executives were total tools, they wouldn't open their mouths and get everyone excited. The fact of the matter is that we are paying for TCP/IP access. And that access is determined by TECHNOLOGY, not by PAYOLA. The fear is that the megacorps want to turn a utility service into a cash trough, so they can rape the consumers double.
