A lot of people on the right are against this, but some of us on the tech side want this. I think some people are thinking fairness doctrine, but techies want comcast to be a big dumb people and not try to turn into aol. The Level 3 vs Comcast this week is turning in it and AT&T and Verizon have been misbehaving as well/
I’m probably in too bad a frame of mind to comment objectively, but right now Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Wildblue, HughesNet, Sprint and whatever other freaky little WISPs there are can just PI$$ offand die...and take their *#(&$ little broadband caps with them.
My only internet access is via Verizon’s USB760. I’m a grandfathered Alltel customer (wow, I miss them so much) who’s signal has just been shot to holy 773H because of a police tower and redesignation as a “low priority” area. And then VZW rubs my nose in their crappy LTE pricing.
So help me, I pulled the plug on DirecTV Tuesday after fifteen years, it’s not gonna take much more to push me!
Sorry for the rant. I know I shouldn’t cut off my nose to spite my face, but if anyone’s ISP ever BREATHES about imposing a cap, you’d better raise a stink to the sky.
Darn. That didn’t even make me feel better. >>:<
All things, Clay, have their price. We must ask if resolution of the technical issues involved here are worth the price that will emerge in other areas.
