Re: Good on them

Kyle mentioned in his blog post that the throttling only effects neocities home page and not their clients. As Karl and other have mentioned, this won't grab real attention unless big players implement similar measures.

If facebook, twitter, google, yahoo, microsoft, reddit, wikipedia and others throttled all .us connections for one week, you'd see a massive outcry and backlash from constituents toward congress and the FCC. Sadly these corporations will likely choose to pay extortion tolls rather than weigh short term harm against the longer consequences of inaction.

You do realize that most agencies have moved away from the .us right? That is a public domain open to anyone.

I was inferring all geobased IP connections originating from the United States, not just .us domains

You stated the .us domain though would teach them.

What have I done to deserve a throttle? (I own a .us domain.)
