Even though the FCC voted to put ISPs into Title II, the legal battles will continue. So, discuss the impact of this vote and what it means for the future.

Slinky Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 All the bill does, is stop businesses from paying extra to get faster internet. It basically prohibits favoritism and forces everyone to be on the same page. In other words, everyone is treated as a regular customer, not split between regular/VIP, or w.e. Or at least, this was how it was explained on my local news. It's good in theory, but some businesses really do need significantly faster internet than the rest of us do, its weird as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example what Comcast did to Netflix like last year.Or slow other sites down to make fast lanes for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bad post Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 This is so fucking stupid, like why is this even a debate. The internet is a free and open space used by many different people from many different cultures and companies. No one entity, be it the US government or corporations, should have the ability to regulate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bad post Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 honestly can't tell if you're for or against net neutrality your rhetoric's jumping ships Against, but I also feel that what companies like Comcast are doing to Netflix is a dick move as well. I want to be given my wifi/bandwidth and then I want everyone to step off so I can enjoy my freaking internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
