The 2 dems want more regulation.
The 2 republicans want things as is.
Martin vacillates between the 2 positions - as long as Comcast and cable are on the hot seat.

Do you not admit that there are at least 2 sides to this debate?
Do you really think both sides will be equally represented?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20349119 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:21:35 EDT Re: Ho Hum!! Just FCC's Martin beating a dead horse http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20349035 TScheisskopf :

only you would be against a public debate highlighting the issues on both sides.
And only you would think this meeting will result in both sides being HEARD. This hearing is just another of Martin's PR efforts against cable - nothing more.
Surpringly, I agree with you that Martin is a tool. Hardly ergonomically-designed, to boot. That said, there are substantive issues here, some of them dragged into the light by one of our own. The motivations of Martin can be questioned. The data, not so much.

The data trumps even Martin and his motivations.

I certainly hope that the discussion today goes into the "whys" as much as the "hows and whats" of this traffic shaping. Perhaps a few moments on Comcast, its pile o' cash that it is sitting on and its reluctance to invest that pile o' cash in upgrades of its core infrastructure to meet the bandwidth needs of its traffic, instead relying on silly parlor-trick boxes that degrade services, while couching their arguments for these silly parlor tricks, and the arguments of their designated shills, in facile and high-flown rhetoric that is designed to avoid the meat of the issue:

They are running out of pipes and they need to do a lot of node-splitting.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20349035 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:07:01 EDT Re: Ho Hum!! Just FCC's Martin beating a dead horse http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20348678 TK Junk Mail :

Just FCC's Martin beating a dead horse http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20348430 TK Junk Mail : This is a meeting that wasn't needed. It is just Martin continuing his anti-Comcast vendetta. Martin has already lost the backing of Congress and his ability to change anything based on the meeting is nil.
