I always loved history in school and that's why the common phrase "those that don't know history, always repeat the same mistakes" applies to people that don't bother to learn it.

I believe the quote should read: "those who fail to learn history (or are ignorant of history) are doomed to repeat it".
Honestly I feel we're doomed to repeat history regardless of our knowledge simply because it is human nature to seek power over others and to control the general population. But you can always delay the inevitable for a generation or two before people get soft and think to themselves "oh, that couldnt happen nowadays, not to us." then... Dictatorship again. |

Say "NO" to caps and "YES" to more speed and innovation I Agree with KRK, a very well done comment jjeffeory!
We are all at a pivotal moment in internet history, there are new technologies and products just starting to mainstream like VOD, offline backups, social networking apps, legal torrents, distributed computing and research. The net today is so much more than the net of yesterday, it is an informational hub, it is a service hub, it is many things yet to be imagined.
I am personally against caps and packet discrimination, but at the same time I understand and respect the residential TOS and managing network performance. There must be a better way. If I had a choice between caps and a price increase of say extra $5.00 per month to avoid caps, I would gladly pay extra $5.00 to avoid caps. |
