A Net Neutrality Rule Would Authorize Big Brother
to read your emails and put them in the trash if they were politically incorrect. Some of my emails now get put in the trash. Anything to keep the government out I am in favor of.

Net neutrality is speech neutering via the government.

you have a big brother already. two of them. they are called the cable giants and the phone giants.

they force you to use their proprietary closed protocols which requires you to use their proprietary closed equipment.

your cable modem doesn't get faster each year like video cards.

your capacity doesn't grow each year like hard drives.

why?

proprietary.

if these monopolies were forced to adhere to open standards, like IP, then ANYBODY at ANY TIME could invent a new faster card, and people would IMMEDIATELY be going faster, without paying more.

When we talk about net neutrality, we are talking about things like that. the way it is now is just not sustainable, for society, although i'm sure the cable and phone companies would be happy to keep it exactly as slow as it is, for decades to come.
