Which is entirely idiotic given how ISPs have engaged in throttling. There is literally nothing stopping Time Warner and Comcast from engaging in a pay per page view form of internet tiering.
No it isn't.
Unless you got something that clearly indicates otherwise, how about we remain within the confines of the context of what he said?
His comment, in context of what he was speaking about clearly indicates he wants it to remain the same as it is now, you know, without the suggested status change into a utility.
Actually you do. Classifying it as a utility would allow the FCC to force ISPs to treat all packets of data the same.
Oh gawd. :doh
Net neutrality is about no outside interference,
especially by the government.
No, he won't answer because he doesn't understand the topic outside of using it bash Obama.
More nonsense from you.
It was a dishonest question.
If you think he answered that question, I have ocean front property to sell you in Switzerland.
If you do not understand that "regulation" was the answer, then you have property to sell to your self.
To which he has zero explanations on how to do that. Meaning Cruz is entirely for letting the ISPs throttle all they want since he is against NN and against any form of regulation to ensure that all packets of data are treated the same.
Cruz's motto is "let's do nothing while they screw us over."
Wrong.
Being against classifying it as a utility does not mean you are against NN.
So stop with the dishonest arguments.
I am. You are not. Your solution is to do nothing and rely on magic,
Hence why your opinion is of no value whatsoever.
Your focus on me and for the reasons stated (which is wrong) is nothing more than an example of a person who can not form a coherent argument and instead attacks the poster.
Expected typical liberal bs.
Try discussing the actual topic for a change.
It is your opinion that is of no value here.
And as this topic isn't about possible solutions, but Cruz's words as to why Obama's desire to classify it as utility is wrong, you are speaking nonsense, as usual.
Again, try getting back on topic.
Its the same industry, telephony. Phones have data services and enhanced technologies, but unless one goes pure VoIP like skype, you are still using phone numbers.
911 is still regulated to work. You have taxes on your cell phone bill. You have access to tty for the deaf. Etc...
But all of the back end stuff was converted to digital packet switched protocols in the 80s and 90s regardless of the last mile being a copper wire or radio waves. Regulation didn't hinder that. Just because you and Cruz didn't see the upgrades right in front of them doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Did you ever use a party line for example where multiple houses had to share? That doesn't happen for example, in your scenario we would still be in that situation.
Holy ****! :doh
Somehow you think what you just said is relevant.
It isn't.
Regulation stifles. Period.
And such a classification brings with it taxes. Which you keep ignoring.
