Why You Should Support Net Neutrality - ... And the consumer? Expect to pay more to do what you like. From increased internet fees, to paying more for your favorite applications. It's all going to affect you and your wallet.
I tend to agree. Even back with the internet was implemented in the early stages, many postulated it would evolve into something that would nickle and dime the end users and big bureaucracy would step in to manage it. The winners would be the nickel and dimers and squeaky wheel lobbyists to the bureaucracies.
Most national telecommunication infratructure is in place and the new thrust is getting fibre closer to the end user. Alot of national infrastructure, differs from country to country, region to region, is payed by end users or taxes (like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Service_Fund) and it gets murky. To speculate, I'm and end user paying taxes and subscription fees to help maintain infrastructure then I have to pay a middleman ISP to throttle the line to the carriers who send the data where it needs to go.
Alright, all fine and good then. i'd like to charge all internet companies 5 cents for every time they store a cookie on my computer, track my whereabouts, log my IP, compile my shopping data and metadata, stuff my data stream with useless advertising and streaming video, ... and yeah I know how that will turn out because I'm the end user. |

Q2 and Q3 doesn't mean February and March.
Cable companies are evil. Everyone getting Internet from a cable company should see what other options are in their area and switch. |

As if it hasn't since the very beginning, usage caps, data limits, tier plans, line rentals, government handouts, higher taxes, it all goes towards funding corruption.
And what open internet  couldn't make this shit up, the internet is the biggest policy parasite policed state in the world, its got every deadbeat government agency lying (literally) in bed with all telco companies and most media outlets ever since the internet took off in mass popularity so has requirement by these deadbeats to maintain control in every aspect of the internet.
The fact you even hear the term net neutralility when it in fact doesn't exist and never has is much like how you here the west has 'freedoms' , freedom to obey lying scum and hypocrite cunts. The freedom to be and support what you have been condition towards because anything else would be detrimental to your peace and safety.
And Telcos and isps already pass on the buck to customers and taxpayers through there cosy relationship with government and legal policy parasites, both shafting the citizens.
The arguments for and against net neutrality might aswel be written by the same fucking scumbags (and for the most part it is!, except for a miniroty bandwagon tards who think they are helping a good cause when its already over the people running the show and giving out the options are already in the bag) its a non issue and a distraction from more important issues really. Really it is just about informing the dumb fuck population with fallacies that ARE NOT AND HAVE NOT EVER BEEN FUCKING TRUE.
The only thing that is true, is that more money will be needed to keep corruption going and you all will be paying the price because you already do, it just helps if you believe and support the fucking bullshit surrounding either sides points regarding it.
Nothing more than the telcos rattling there cages and making a big song and dance with with big media SCUM to get everyones attention. wonder why they 'care'? about the issues they are telling you? THEY FUCKING DON'T, they just want you to care about NON FUCKING ISSUES while they do the job of making sure the 99% are dumb and uninformed as usual and wasting there time rallying against and talking about issues they have completely under there control either way. |
