Re: No Policy Needed said by r81984:We do need regulation to keep the internet fair, neutral, and unlimited. Agreed. But this isn't really a "policy" as described in the article, it is more of the government acting in its existing enforcement capacity.

There hasn't been any national broadband policy regarding deployment and service levels and yet government at all levels has been able to enforce existing net neutrality laws. I am simply arguing that a new policy that mandates deployment and service levels is not needed because private ISPs continue to expand services.

| I'm not sure why I'm replying to your comments, since you've demonstrated your blind bias over and over again, but..
Countries like Canada and Australia have demonstrated what happens when a government blindly pursues deregulation in an industry with no plan. The countries have become backwaters in terms of broadband. |

Australia? If I recall correctly their federal government is quite involved in the planning and control of the Internet as it is deployed in that country. We all know what a disaster that is turning out to be.
As for Canada, the only problem there is that there is too much regulation and once again, connectivity is governed by just one single company. Said company is choking off wholesale access to other ISPs.
Why would you want the same things to happen to Internet service in the USA?
