Title: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled.... Post by: FOTD on October 30, 2009, 01:51:36 pm McCain Lost!
http://gizmodo.com/5391712/net-neutrality-worst-case Can you imagine what kind of mayhem McCain would have created? The wingnuts don't know how lucky the country is not to have the fear of Palin replacing a senile President. My neighbor, a doctor no less, still has a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on his vehicle displaying his overt stupidity... Title: Re: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled....

I still see a Sore/Loserman bumper sticker every now and then, so what?

It's freaking scary, once again, legislators not listening to what the public wants. Title: Re: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled....

Title: Re: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled.... Post by: MichaelBates on October 30, 2009, 02:13:01 pm The point of the Gizmodo post is that we can expect our Internet access to be tiered like cable if Net Neutrality isn't approved.
I haven't checked for a while, but there used to be a "Bus Bellmon to Panama" sticker on a utility pole at 51st and Harvard. It was there for at least 25 years.

Dern....was hoping to leave CoCo in the dark... Title: Re: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled.... Post by: cannon_fodder on October 30, 2009, 03:23:01 pm I should be thrilled that the government is begging to regulate the Internet because it means McCain "lost" something or other? I don't get it.

I believe it's because he introduced a bill to kill net neutrality. Killing net neutrality would essentially do what the link intonates. Title: Re: Net Neutrality and Why You Should Be Thrilled.... Post by: brianh on November 01, 2009, 12:16:11 pm Found this the other day. This is the general concept of what an ISP like AT&T/Comcast wants to do to your internet. And the problem is they own a lot of the cross country fiber and can control this kind of thing at will. This is why I feel we need net neutrality.
