How long should I hold onto some of the comments in this thread predicting regulation of this site before I can bring them back up and show them to the chicken littles?
explain how todays decison helps our freedoms to chose what services we want have..
why should it be equal? this sounds a lot like Obamacare
Because all corporations are evil and all government is good?
We don't even know what got voted on today except that it is a huge piece of regulation of an industry that has absolutely exploded over the past two decades primarily because it was free and relatively unregulated. We also know that the reason given for the "need" to regulate it was, specifically, that freedom which had allowed it to expand.
Why is it that liberals hate freedom so much?
Today's decision was meant to keep the status quo. If you're happy with the way the internet is now, you should be happy with today's decision.
sure... its called symantics.. and not getting what you want ...
No, that's not semantics. That's substantive. Net neutrality specifically prohibits what you just predicted.

Politics is so strong in this country nowadays, it's become almost like a religion. Even on an issue like this the opinions are split right along party lines. I never thought I'd see the day where any person who's ever had to deal with a cable company, or Verizon and ATT would ever defend them. It's amazing that anyone would trust those companies. Especially Comcast and TW. There's no bigger scum bags in the world then those 2 companies. They are the worse, and have been for decades.
if my car is slow, I dont think thats fair.. I think everyone elses car needs to made slower to match mine.. its not fair others can afford a faster car and can pay for that..
Net neutrality allows the little guy to be on equal footing with the giant websites. It supports entrepreneurship, making it easier for the little guy to make it big. It's the sort of situation that allows a Facebook to actually beat out a MySpace. Without net neutrality, a MySpace can buy their way into the fast lane because they're big enough, but a fledgling Facebook cannot afford to do so, they get throttled, and nobody wants to use their crappy, slow website.
You can still have tiered service speeds, if you want the 100Mbit package you can still get the 100Mbit package. If the 5Mbit line suits your needs fine, you can still have that. What the ISP can't do is have you pay for 5Mbits but decide that FoxNews.com will only come in at 200kb/sec but MSNBC.com will come in at full speed because your ISP's CEO happens to be liberal and he feels like doing that.
I trust them more then Obama...
now wireless is bunched into this disaster..
pullleeazeee... seems you took the bait hook line and sinker..... Im a little guy in a few of my LLCs..and this was NEVER an issue..
It's mostly politics and if Obama is for it then they are against it.
You keep calling it a disaster, can you name a specific regulation that is disastrous?
'its not regulated today... this is a witch hunt to take our freedoms..
Can I keep my Dr? and how much again am I saving?

The fact its not regulated today is the problem. Regulation is neccessary otherwise the big corporations will take away the bandwith we have today. The regulation is meant to keep the internet the way it is today.
For good reason.
His " politics " have destructive consequences.
