| Nebulous? "...taking a count of those who submitted network neutrality comments to the FCC, then adding up how many people they employ to nebulously make a scary connection to job losses. "
Doesn't sound nebulous to me. Recent projections say wired comm. companies are among those who will have the highest number of job losses in the future...piss off the exec's while you're at it and it doesn't sound too bright. Incidentally, since when do corp exec's need a *good* reason for layoffs?

You want to cater to their every whim in hopes that they'll maintain employment because of their improved mood? Hahaha.
They'll fire people whenever they think it will help their bottom line regardless. It would be retarded to make concessions on the premise that they'll do any different.
The real argument would be whether NN will actually force them to cut jobs and I think that is BS. They want to trash NN because building faster higher-capacity networks costs money (and takes lots of workers) while sitting back and double-dipping on your current crappy network has KILLER profit margins.
I would say it is the opposite, that moving to a neutered non-neutral internet will result in much fewer jobs. They could fire almost everybody who works to make the network better and just hire a few more bean-counters to help count the insane amounts of money they'd be making.
Getting rid of net neutrality is all about less service and less choice for more money. |
