Re: FCC leave them alone
What exactly is a 'competitive' market? Is that a market where the FCC has determined the zip code (even if it's only 1 house) has broadband, when 99.99% of the people can't get it? Is that the market where you can get raped by comcast, or you can get raped by verizon? Does a competitive market include satellite, with 100MB download caps, and 1000ms latency? Is the dial-up market 'competitive'?
Net Neutrality has NOTHING TO DO with competition. Net Neutrality forces the companies to provide US (the customer) with what we are paying for. If I'm buying an 'internet connection', I expect it to work as the entire internet does, BEST EFFORT. If my provider can't provide me with the latency, or bandwidth I want, then I change providers. What my provider CANNOT do, is create a '2-tier' internet, where some web sites are served faster than others. What my provider CANNOT do is throttle my bittorrent traffic. If my provider sells me 10MB/1MB, I expect to be able to use that pipe in any manner I SEE FIT. That is what net neutrality is all about.
