Re: WA Gov: ISP's Can Suck It
I personally am loving this debate
the information age is making libertarians (or hypocrites) out of everybody
STATES RIGHTS!!
(btw... what the states do in this instance won't matter much, because their own networks have to be connected to a hose somewhere, and that hose will be controlled by the ISPs)

I really don't think you understand the issue.

That it all it is...
https://www.wired.com/story/virginia-i66-toll-road/THERE ARE PLENTY of reasons for outrage coming out of Washington, DC, these days, but this week the divided region found a common enemy. The express lanes on Interstate 66 near DC, previously reserved for vehicles carrying two or more people, opened up to solo travelers. Except those single-occupancy vehicles have to pay a toll, one that fluctuates according to demand. The world watched, aghast, as tolling prices hit $40 for folks headed into the capital on Tuesday morning.
So, riddle me this...if it’s OK to charge people for the privilege of driving faster than all the rest of the unwashed masses on the federal highway system...why would it be wrong to do the same on the information super-highway???
And how was the internet so screwed up prior to 2015 and the implementation of the rules reversed today that mandated the implementation of the rules reversed today???
Be honest, do you think you should have to pay more to access Netflix at high speeds? Or should the speed provided by ISPs be the same for each service?
A lot of republicans are arguing that this would foster competition and allow people to choose new ISPs that don't throttle their preferred sites. The problem is there are very few ISPs to choose from in most areas of the US. There simply isn't the competition to choose from.

If anything, the cost of a subscription to Netflx should have come down over the past two years. It hasn't.

Don’t Blame Big Cable. It’s Local Governments That Choke Broadband Competition
Despite public, political, and business interest in greater broadband deployment, not every American has high-speed internet access yet (let alone a choice of provider for really fast, high-capacity service). So who’s really to blame for strangling broadband competition?
While popular arguments focus on supposed “monopolists” such as big cable companies, it’s government that’s really to blame. Companies can make life harder for their competitors, but strangling the competition takes government.
Broadband policy discussions usually revolve around the U.S. government’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC), yet it’s really our local governments and public utilities that impose the most significant barriers to entry.

You are forced to pay for car insurance, health insurance, taxes etc and you pay more than $30/mo. You pay more for satellite and cable. Face it internet should be anywhere from $150-300 a month for all it provides the country. Why do you arrogant SOBS think you should be able to tell a business what they can and cant charge for a service provided to you at your CHOICE?
If people dont pay for a service it will go away, if they are being charged too much somebody will probably provide another service at less cost.
Dont buy into this BS, your internet is not wide open and free now. You are being lied to........I know because its why my WISP charges $125 to 300 a month for internet and we dont let you have Netflix........you sign a contract stating that before we hook you up. Thats not wide open that is us doing what everyone is going to start doing now.

Re: WA Gov: ISP's Can Suck It
This debate shows me that Party Loyalty is stronger than logical discourse
Any American that takes 15 minutes to actually research what's really being debated here
could only come to one logical conclusion
Frankly it's astounding
It's not even remotely close to charging people to drive faster on a highway system
It would be closer to allowing a private business to decide who's actually allowed on the Highway
and what rout they are allowed to drive
and what speed
What this really is - is this - Obama is for it so Trump is against it
So every Republican that can't read is against it
and every Republican that believes Fox News is on point is against it
This frankly is about Trump just undoing whatever Obama did - Regardless of right or wrong

Not a perfect example, but that's what we're dealing with. DC isn't making people drive slower b/c they bought an import instead of a domestic vehicle.

Re: WA Gov: ISP's Can Suck It
No doubt, especially since the major networks already have media tie-ins to the ISPs.

Sling TV and similar services are going to get hit hard too. They're direct competition to the ISP's cable packages. Porn sites are also effed.

And as Baldy so accurately pointed out, it's local government that is throttling ISP growth...not state or local government...
Let competition come in at the local level, and see what happens...it's happening with electricity...I have a number of companies that I can purchase power from...competition is lowering the cost of a kilowatt...don't you think competition can lower cable/ISP costs???

The fence is a good place to be when people on both sides of the aisle are in hysterics over an issue that basically hasn't even happened yet. The doom and gloom from both sides is almost entirely based on what might happened - not what has, not what is, but what might happen.

FWIW, a lot of the interstates around here have options to pay for faster service, so what you're really saying is you're against net neutrality.∞∞∞ wrote:Good for Washington; I hope ALL states follow that lead, although I know they won't.
I read something like 80%+ of Americans are against the death of net-neutrality, which overwhelmingly makes it one of the few items a majority of people are united about. And yet here we are.
IMO, a net-neutral internet is essential to the American economy. It's the modern version of the highway interstate system, spurring economic growth and efficiently connecting people and businesses.
edit - I see that's already been discussed. It is like that Cleets.
And FTR, is was Tripp that brought up the interstates.
