The day the Internet becomes a public utility regulated by the rectal openings in D.C. is the day I quit using it.

new rules, proposed this week, to preserve the Internet as an open platform for innovation and free expression

New government regulations to preserve freedom? Orwell would be proud.

Net neutrality may be a worthy concept, but the problem as always is that the Left has hijacked this issue. the chances that we will now have censorship on the Internet has just increased ten-fold with this "ruling".

Yea, um, we already have that and if the Gov steps in the result will be just the opposite.

I think the real question here is whether it makes sense to have the internet managed and regulated like the interstate highway system.

Dumb question: Wouldn't anyone be able to build their own "internet" themselves?

I still need to learn what, exactly, does NET NEUTRALITY mean? That is an innocuous phrase , a contrived description that could mean anything.

I just want to know if the new label will increase the price for the same bandwidth, and if so, by how much? I also want to know if a customer says ‘no
, they do not want their history collected or their geographic location known, will we still have that choice, or has the choice of staying private always been an illusion?
