i see a new buzzword that means caps and throttling is coming to the USA .....did ya think they'd not try to keep on trying to rip people off and price gouge....

Until these networks are 100% owned by the people this crap will just continue....
imagine if they owned our water treatment plants ......
The people do own these companies - thru their shareholders.

And many water treatment facilities are privately owned; as are water providers; and trash collection; and natural gas providers; and electricity; etc. All considered by some as municipal utilities. You just have to get out of major cities where the pols and their sycophants run these types of businesses.
and they are heavilly regulated to prevent the abuses that occur. Think landlord tenant board and you renting the service of having a room. IS that room YOURS or the landlords?
The law says its yours as long as you pay....
Why cant the same thing apply to all services?

and everyone knows big media has control of the ...media. MY BET is that real reporting MIGHT just actually go somewhere as many tired of the crap they see would TUNE IN.

You're wrong in what you're saying.. when you RENT a room from a landlord, you have a right to USE it.. there is nothing that says it's "yours".. you're still bound to certain terms and restrictions.. for example..

.. you can't let anyone live with you unless they are approved and on the lease...

.. you can't simply renovate walls or rooms with out permission.

... you can't have pets unless they are approved.

.. visitors that stay more than a week, sometimes two, have to be cleared with the landlord..

etc.

The law says you have an 'agreement' with the landlord.. it never says 'it's yours as long as you pay'... please produce a piece of law that says that..

It DOES say that the rental agreement gives you certain rights.. but it doesn't give you unrestricted use.

So, as for "all services".. they're already the same.. you have an agreement that you're bound too and as a consumer, you have certain protections, basically, the agreement and certain housing rights have to be adhered to.. that's it.

Also, remember.. when you're renting an apartment or a home, you're basically a customer of a business.. people don't understand that one very well.. just as the conversation about "we should have the right to have what ever provider in the area service me in my apartment" again is simply wrong. It's a business that offers amenities which are simply marketing tools and help competition against the competitors..

but simply put.. it's not yours as long as you pay.
