Re: I don't think any other comments are needed in this thread.. "....perhaps one may say capping would limit ones' freedom of assembly which is definitely covered in that amendment."
No one is doing that.. and an ISP is not the Government, to which the 1st applies.. an ISP is not telling you that you can't "say" what you want.. by the way, too many people REALLY go out of their way to stretch the 1st.. the stripper industry likes to play the 1st Amendment card all the time saying that nudity is a form of speech.. last time I checked, speech is something that comes from your mouth or is printed on paper, not your boobs. but I digress.
But, to your argument about capping.. that too I don't agree. Many ISPs have talked about a fixed amount of data use with overage fees... this is nothing REALLY that much different that the phone company has done for the majority of it's existence either. We have it now with out cell phone service.. you get so many minutes, and then you pay X amount over.. how is this any different? EVEN if they did say "you get 250 GB a month, and that's it" which they're not talking about, I still don't see how it's limiting someone's speech.. to "limit one's speech" is to control what is said.. not how much of it or charge for it.. there is a major difference.. |
