Internet neutrality

[Gregadd]

I have not read the decision by the FCC or the court case allegedly ending Internet neutrality. Others believe the sky is falling. Google is my friend. .I,'ll try to find it.

Be curious what a lawyer has to say about it. The one I know who has already commented was kind of scathing, but also pointed out that the judge effectively told the FCC how to get it right.

 

[Gregadd]

That would be an advisory opinion. There is no guarantee you'll get the same judge or that he will be consistent when presented with a new set of facts.

Hello, Greg. With all due respect, what does this have to do with the general audio forum?

Good evening Tom. I've beentring to get to North Carolina for some time. I hang out on the East Cost about thirty miles from the ocean.
in response to your question the forums are loosely defined and substantial leeway is given. There is no need for a long debate. I woud have no ojectionto moving it to the Anthing Goes Off Topic Forum.

Internet neutrality is very important. .Imagine if I googled WBF and the search engine sent me to three other sponsored sites first.

Have a good night. Sorryabout the Panthers.

Well, delivery of digital entertainment, via audio or video data.

Net Neutrality is nothing more than a power grab by Government. The glorious leaders cannot stand it that a last frontier exists that they cannot manage, tax, or otherwise control. As-is, the Internet promotes free thinking, entrepreneurship, exchange of ideas, and other radical activities that tend to enlighten the masses. That will never do because Government has to protect...err, control us.

By the way, if you Googled WBF and the search engine sent you to three other sponsored sites first, a competitive search engine would soon rise up. After all, that is how Google came to be. They built a better mousetrap.

That's the point to keep it 'as is". That's what nthe FCC was trying to do. Internt non-neutrality would come not just from Bing. Your internet provider could do things like making thier preferred choice run faster causing you to switch to it.

Internet neutrality is a "government power grab?" Do you know what internet neutrality means?

Speaking of your Internet provider doing things to you, they hooked me up to their cables when they came over for the install, sent heaven knows what signal into me and I have never been the same since:
