Originally posted by LANTIRN View PostYou know exactly what I mean. Government took over healthcare by lying out of their ass, then took something that was working well, but needed some fine tuning, and fucked it up so now prices are going up fast and services will suffer if they haven't already. This internet takeover will have the same kind of result. They are lying about intentions. Soon the service will go to shit because they want it to, or they will severely over regulate it, then prices will go up. We are going to see a bunch of rules soon that make no sense, alot of spending and budget increases, and probably some stupid bills from congress we did not need. Just watch.

My biggest problem with all this is the idea that competition is some magic fix for what ails people with shitty internet. If you want to see how competition doesn't always fix things, just look at electricity here in Texas. Opening that up for competition just made it a more expensive mess. We pay the second highest price in the nation for electricity thanks to people shouting "competition" from the rooftops.

One street over, coworker gets fios 50/50 at less than what I pay.
Is everyone really forgetting the throttling verizon was doing with netflix already? I know people HERE, IN DALLAS/PLANO, who were affected by this. Same thing also happened with Time Warner here in Plano. This is meant to stop them from doing that, among other things.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Originally posted by exlude View PostI don't see how you can compare the two. Internet has never been price regulated like electricity was and still pseudo is in Texas. You can't expect the same effects.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

question, if prices go up and content is throttled or censored further, who will you people blame?
I know the answer, most everyone for this FCC power grab will blame the Internet providers, sane people will blame the government.ازدهار رأسه برعشيت

Originally posted by Broncojohnny View PostThey just gave themselves the power to regulate it. I'm not sure how you can sit there and tell anyone what to expect.
And, uh, you're telling everyone what to expect, not me.

Originally posted by svo855 View PostThe anger that you are exhibiting towards Comcast is what has been used to make you believe that this is about making things "Fair".
