Net Neutrality

Post by THE JEW (RaVeN) »

Rogers may be the first ISP to get rid of net neutrality:

They're already injecting their own content into other people's webpages.

Net Neutrality

They ruled for it:

There are both positives and negatives to this for the consumer.

October is the O.K. corral as to whether it exists or not:

Plus, the article has a wicked pick of Obama with a lightsaber ;)



And an article giving an update on Comcast suing the FCC over the throttling issue:

Seeing as how the CRTC seems to be as corrupt as the other government boards in the USA, there's a growing line of thought to outright disband it:

What net neutrality is really about:

This ESPN style of business, quite frankly, sucks:

http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Desp ... ads-104800

The ISP, NOT the consumer, pays fees to access ESPN content. So 90% of the people finance the other 10%. The cable tv style of bill just came to the internet.

RIAA wants limitations placed on net neutrality so that ISP's can police copyright:

You know, instead of the actual police.

Remember how the Obama administration said that all things about net neutrality would be talked about publicly?

Yeah, not so much. FCC resorts to back room talks with carriers.
