Enjoying



your corporatocracy yet?


It's a horrible decision.
If it's such a good deal?
Why are we the only industrialized country to have such a policy?

Our infrastructure sucks and broad distances between major metropolitan areas will always present a challenge for this country.
It's part of the reason other countries are far ahead of us in reliability, speeds, access etc.

Horrible decisions like this are not going to help.

"The F.C.C. said it had repealed the rules because they restrained broadband providers like Verizon and Comcast from experimenting with new business models and investing in new technology. Its chairman has long argued against the rules, pointing out that before they were put into effect in 2015, service providers had not engaged in any of the practices the rules prohibited."

It's just such horseshit.
Comcast and Verizon don't make enough profit to invest in new technology?
Who believes that horse dung?
The fact of the matter is they just won't unless they are made to.

Just because "service providers had not engaged in any of the practices the rules prohibited" 
prior to 2015, doesn't mean they were always not going to engage in those practices which include:

Blocking.
Throttling 
and
Paid Prioritization.

Now that the Net Neutrality rules have been repealed?
You can expect those three things listed above to start happening.

This is one Joe six pack doesn't have a clue about then one day he will get a letter in the mail saying if he wants access to You Tube, Netflix, Facebook, Instagram whatever, he's gonna have to pay more and then he will hit the roof.

Again.
If this is the way to go?
Why haven't other industrialized countries done the same?

Sorry, just the former Network Operations Control Analyst coming out.
