FCC votes to repeal Net Neutrality

[Anonymous 7]

According to the AP

BREAKING: The FCC votes on party lines to undo sweeping Obama-era `net neutrality' rules that guaranteed equal access to internet.

— The Associated Press (@AP) December 14, 2017

From my understanding this is a good thing.
Competition is a good thing.
The fascists use the word neutrality but I don’t think that word means what they think it does.

LOL! The Chairman of the FCC goes trolling.

Don’t think it is a bad thing. Before 0bama’s tinkering around in something he should have just left alone we all used the net with out any problems.

There was never a chance that the FCC wasn’t going to repeal it. Too many big money ISPs influencing things behind the scenes.

Can’t wait till ISPs start throttling your Netflix or other streaming content to 1 meg/sec unless you pony up an extra $5.99/month for a ‘streaming’ account. Yay politics.

[TrailbossParticipant 1844]

Yep! Already doing it in s~~~ holes like India. Netflix won’t pay to play, paying money to the ISP’s for bandwidth, so the ISP’s came up with s~~~ty alternative and that’s all the public can get….I can see that happening here….

An educated, armed populace cannot be enslaved.

Lets see what happens, lots of doomsday predictions out there, guess we will see if anything comes to pass

With Net Neutrality discarded, and the anti-lawsuit immunity for ISPs within Net Neutrality no longer in effect, the anti-trust lawsuits and anti-monopoly lawsuits can begin against the ISPs.

Many of those whom own the major ISPs in the U.S. want President Trump to no longer be President. President Trump knows this. The removal of these regulations was not a gift to those ISPs, but a notice that he is coming for the ISPs and their monopolistic practices.

Its the age old problem of going with the devil you know vs the devil you don’t know.

Slow internet fo’ the po’ folks and faster internet for those who can pay.

I just did a speed test…10.31 Mbps download, 0.96 Mbps upload
I pay $40 a month for this service.

Let’s see if that changes.

Guess what, if I have to pay more to get Netflix, either Netflix lowers its subscription price or I drop it.

Yup ^.

Here is how I understand it…..
The internet has been mainstream for decades without Obama regulations.
It seemed to work for most folks. In the AOL heyday you paid for time online and you got a blazing fast 56K service (if you were lucky).
{Edit: It also tied up your phone line unless you ponied up for an extra land line}

Today I pay a little bit more than I did in the 90s but now have broadband speeds. This is what competition does.

Then Obama came along and decided it was broken. Well not really he like every other leftard could not stand the fact that something so big and so important was not under government rule i.e. us peasants betters.

I get the Netfix argument but like @jan said if they jack the price up beyond what the market can bare, someone else will replace them. See AOL from the 90s

Two years ago Obama attempted to have the FCC treat the internet like a public utility. The argument was ‘for the good of the people’ you know the usual horse s~~~.

Today the FCC undid what Obama did.
If you aren’t in the US then you probably don’t have a f~~~ to give about it. 🙂

[JVBParticipant]

Ok. Cheers mate. I live in the US and I’ll pretend to understand what you’re talking about.

Forgive me. Is this about intent speed ?

Sorta. It is about money.

Today the FCC voted.
In a nutshell here is what the voted on.

1. Regulate the internet as if it were a public utility. Think gas company, electric company, etc. In other words the Feds would regulate and control the internet. And probably tax it more.

2. Do not regulate the internet as if it were a public utility. Think free market, supply-demand, etc.

Today the FCC chose #2
hope this helps.

I seriously doubt this will lead to any serious issues for the average internet user. “Net neutrality” is itself a somewhat misleading description of what’s really “government regulation.” From what I can see, this gives more power to the natural forces of the market. However, for people who live in areas where they have only ONE choice of ISP, they could experience higher rates if their provider decides to be tyrannical.

Ferguson announces plan to file lawsuit after FCC’s net neutrality vote

——–NN thought up 2004, more or less in acted here in the states mid 2015. So all this panic over a ruling around 2 years old. Now legal action has me very suspect. Liberal states attorney generals so not do for the people, but for an agenda.

I’ll admit that – at first – I got swept up in the hysteria of net neutrality, but when once some kindly Trump (best president we’ve had in a while) supporter told me what was what I’ve come to not mind it so much.

Easy 2 step process to find out if anything is “good” or “bad”

1. Does CNN support it? If No, then “good”

2. Does Obama support it? If No, then “good”

3. Therefore, this is GOOD
