You don't think we need any internet regulations?

Imagine what the US would be like without any internet regulation.
Lest we forget, the Internet exists in the first place thanks to the fact that it was able to grow without regulation. Regulation kills innovation and plays right into the hands of the largest corporations. Regulate, and you'll drive all competitors out of the business -- leaving only the monopoly cable and telephone companies behind.

So, yes, I'm imagining what the Internet is like without regulation. It's great that way -- and should stay that way.

Certainly regulation kills "innovation" as in you buying a bag of 4 lbs of potatoes and getting instead 2 lbs of potatoes and a brick, since the bag really says Bag of potatoes, 4 lbs, but does not says that it contains 4 lbs of potatoes, right ?

Same thing with that 6 Mbit connection "available" 24/7 but really usable only 3 hrs a day.

There WAS regulation. Governed by the RFC's, as in you shall transmit packets and not alter them as in fake RST's, no ?

You clearly do not understand the difference between standardization and regulation. Hint: they're different.

Oh, and RST packets have been used for decades to manage network traffic. We've been doing it for 17 years using open source software, and many commercial network management products do it as well.
