| Do nothing No net neutrality, or anti-net neutrality. There is nothing that any law is going to fix or help. Leave it alone. How has the internet lasted this long without regulation?? Because it does not need any.
When the telco's try to charge the content providers, and the content providers don't pay, then we are nowhere. And when angry customers jump to cable, because cable is not tiering their service, then the telco's will get the message and will have to adjust to save their business.
Telco's will try to tier service, and be content providers. When nobody uses them, the prioritization of those packets will not delay anything.
DO NOTHING!!!! We don't need more useless laws!!!

| Re: Do nothing That's the way it should work, but it doesn't. First of all, all of them want to tier it. They all have their own VOIP service and want to prioritize it, while degrading traffic of other VOIP providers. Charging content providers for priority on their networks is simply something extra. Sadly the true problem lies in US consumers. If you'll examine how majority of US customers deal with service changes, you'll notice that when service degrades they don't switch. Sure, a few people will scream and few will look for alternatives (which aren't going to be many), but for the most part they endure. You think people will look for a new ISP (if they'll find one that doesn't tier their network) just because Google loads 30s slower or Vonage garbles every so many minutes? NO, people will just blame Vonage and Google for providing bad service. | |
