Re: Queue Net Neutrality Debate

The trouble is many people don't have alternative broadband connections. I live in nyc and yet my only option for broadband is TWC. I hate to imagine the scenario in smaller towns.

I think the real answer to the issue is legitimate competition. If people had a legitimate second or third choice for providers, then issues like packet shaping and net neutrality will be solved via the market place.

 There is no debate. Companies will prioritize traffic based on information available to them in realtime. That means to defeat all everybody has to do is start using IPSEC and the bloody problem will solve itself. Now just try getting everybody to enable that so we can have a truly open internet again lol.

You are 100% correct. Thus, we don't need to patch the broken system by net neutrality, lets drop some of the stupid regulations to foster the free market.
