It's all fun and games until Derek signs agreements with cell providers to monetize the traffic here.

RaceBannon

Derek should be rolling in money for his service here

Not to worry. I've been stockpiling packets in the other corner of mom's basement. Don't come crying to me when SHTF. OBK tried warning you all.

Derek likes to service his clients.

This was easily the most retarded policy under Trump. Makes zero sense, hurts consumers, does NOTHING to spur innovation as claimed, and opens the door for abuse by ISPs.

ISPs are utilities. Hth. Now that we've allowed unelected idiots to fuck up the internet, maybe we should try the same experiment with water companies and electric companies. Better start digging in your pockets for that chump change you earned sucking off Ajit Pai. You can use it to pay the extortion fees to bring your water delivery back up to normal speed.

Berkeley Free Net Cooperative just needs more tim to get their own fiber in.

The internet is not a public utility and should not be treated as such.

You like to think that making it a government sanctioned monopoly will improve service levels and encourage competition. That's what you like to do. Commie.

So wouldn't our law makers be better off deregulating IP providers and opening up the field? Competition delivers better results than regulation

Iron law

Disagree. It's become an essential part of daily life. It's the primary source of information and people rely on it for their jerbs. Please to be explaining HOW THE FUCK allowing ISP UTILITIES to speed up or slow down your access to certain sites on the net will spur innovation, help consumers and not harm free speech?

Don't bother answering those questions, because you can't. It's rhetorical.

They can do whatever they want. They paid the upfront costs to provide the service and can monetize it however they see fit. They are then free to use their profits to expand their reach and provide service to more areas and customers. Or not. The flip side is that they have to compete with other ISPs for customers, and are held in check by the market's demand for quality service at the lowest price possible. You, the paying customer, have the option of choosing whichever provider you feel is best or fucking off to the public library or McDonalds to get it for free.

Fuck. WTGWT now more than ever.

There was nothing stifling competition before today other than it's really expensive to lay fiber. What changed today that is going to all new cable companies to enter the market?
