——————The same argument all over again.——————

It’s the same marxists over and over again.

They don’t change. Their goal hasn’t changed. Why would my argument change?

-————How is letting major telco monetize every bit going over the internet HELPing consumers exactly? Paying more for less functionality IS the future, if the telco’s have their way.-————

This is disconnected from reality, in two ways. Regulations have an inherent cost to them. Studies have been done that prove how expensive regulations get.

Net neutrality will make things more expensive, not less.

The second way that this is disconnected from reality is only looking at this from an economic aspected. These marxists pushing all of this could care less about your 39.95 or 79.95 or whatever per month you pay for your broadband. This is about freedom. It always is for marxists. It was in Cuba, it was in Russia, it was and still is in China. To think that marxists have now somehow changed just because the internet is on the line is an equivalent of burning history books.

-————The present form of net neutrality is BAD. But some of the core points of it are not.-—————

As a birthchild of marxist thought, every single part of it are bad. Even those parts which seem good on the surface, are nothing more than a means to an end. This is a historical truth for this type of ideology.

I think I see your debating technique now. You simply label those opposed to you as marxist. If the concept is soooooo inherently evil, then why have the telco's adhered to it up to this point? The internet is an entity in and of itself, that the telco's have sold access to. The telco's haven't picked apart the internet, they have even tried to add their own content to the mix - private label of course.

But now, they have all joined together and agreed that they SHOULD kill the goose that laid the golden egg. They have agreed that they should shape the internet into their own vision. They should block access, they should retard the throughput through their networks as they see fit. The consumer is requesting access, but the telco's are saying "No, we won't let you have access to that."

In your world, to complain about such BS is to tote the hammer and sickle. To point out that the consumers are getting screwed is akin to calling each other comrade. That's garbage, and you know it.

So please tell me again how the telco's build multi billion dollar companies off of the ideals of net neutrality already, but yet the concept is evil. You can not, because it is not BAD. Any provision that allows for government oversite of the CONTENT of the internet is the evil part and should be abolished at all cost.
