Re: Government is not the answer.

I am positive that I know plenty about net neutrality. I also know that you should change your signature to "The Troll." Take your socialism and shove it.

Did you come up with that all by yourself. Or did you have check the TPM o'the day on Fox and/or Crush Lardbaugh? Poof. Dave the tech is no more.

Re: Government is not the answer.

Troll,

I don't see how your response has anything to do with net neutrality. The best way to make an impact with a corporation is through their pocketbook. If business slows, obviously, they are going to take measures to remedy the problem. It's simple. My ISP and/or telco and/or cable company is interfering with my VOIP, I get another provider. If it is as big of a problem as you think it is, the providers will lose customers very quickly.

Re: Government is not the answer.

True, best way to get at them is through their pocketbooks, but what if you have no choice and either go with them or have no broadband/Internet access?

Re: Government is not the answer.

Well, I would have to evaluate how big of an issue I have with said provider. If I truely have only one choice for broadband, and they aren't offering what I want, I suppose I would make a part-time job of bugging the crap out of them until they rectify the situation (i.e. call them, email, write letters). What would you do?

Re: Government is not the answer.

Again, if it was a big enough problem for me and I had no other provider to choose, I would harass them everyday until the situation was rectified. If there are enough people complaining, they will rectify the situation. The majority of consumers will be complaining to their only provider if it is as big of a problem as the network neutrality crowd claims it could be. I think the majority of consumers want a reliable product at a reasonable price. Also, I don't think adding the government in the mix is a good means of achieving either.

Re: Government is not the answer.

well I'm fairly sure that if you were an upstart company who had invested your life savings in your e-business, you would have a slightly different opinion about this matter. With no neutrality, your site could be blocked or slowed to the point of being useless based only on the fact that your product or service competes directly with a company that has the resources to pay the extortion.
