FCC approves new Internet neutrality rules

Did anyone think a black man could lead a country when the majority of black men can't even lead their own families.

He's doing it intentionally jackass.

The FCC turning the internet into a public utility is not a good thing whatsoever, basically getting their foot into the door to begin regulating/taxing.

So much misinformation about why Verizon, Comcast etc. fought this. Sorry TA you are wrong. I work in telecom. This is the real deal:

There is internet speed and throughput. Not just speed. Think of it like a highway.... Large lanes or small lanes, car traveling at certain speeds. Cars can travel the same speed but the bigger lanes will be less clogged with cars... Following this? Ok.

So now large telecoms have to ensure everyone has the same throughput... Larger traffic lanes. IE no favoritism to Netflix etc over some small business. That might sound great but it's not. Speed can still be sold by need or want.

So to make sure Netflix business does not falter they get more speed now (less theoughput).... More cost passed on to the consumers. Also, telecom has to supply the bigger throughput to the smaller businesses for free... They can't charge them for more throughput...and THEY (telecoms) will turn that cost into consumers as well to offset the free upgraded services.

Very simplified but this is what it really means.... Not half of what it is being portrayed as in the media or here... Lol.


So to summarize speed and throughput are different... Can't give any company an advantage so the cost will trickle down to the consumer...  Your $15. Netflix will soon be $35. Bottom line.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.


Sorry TA you are buying what is being reported on main stream media but is not honest. This is very bad for companies and consumers... Good for the government. By turning the Internet into a public utility they can now add regulations as they see fit. This was just getting thier foot in the door.

Yup, net nuetrality and regulating the Internet are one in the same the later just doesn't sound sexy or something people want. Every public utility that is regulated is billed for what you use power,water,phone ect. Expect the Internet to soon be billed the same. The government want their piece of the pie and if you think broadband providers are gonna be like ok cool take 10% that's fine your fooling yourself. They will bill the customer 10% more plus another 10% for them

Bottom line the Internet that we know has NEVER been regulated and now it's going to be regulated prepare your anus...

Typical fear mongering.

typical unedcated, left wing, femo nazi point of view

Moron Republicans and morons in general don`t understand this and think it would be a good idea to not have net neutrality.  They want cable companies to have the ability to charge per website.

So does that mean my porn websites will now be free? The "Exploited Cheerleaders" site just went up another $10/month. But it does include more anal and interracial content so it's still worth it.

How anyone can trust anything this admin says at this point is beyond me. The fact that it was the old Obama bait & switch, the FCC chair was absent, and it was not even presented congress is about as clear as it gets.

There's no doubt lots of fine print in those 322 pages, just as there is in the 2000 page ACA, and every other scam this con man and his backers have crammed down our throats.

So much of the US population have become victims of Stockholm Syndrome and remind me of battered wives who stay with their abuser or keep going back because "it'll be different this time". It's like buying shitty used cars over and over from the same crooked used car dealer who keeps switching the warranty packet for a warranty waiver and just sells you another lemon for more money when the old one breaks down - yet you keep on buying from them.

Getbig is full of morons. Maybe they can bring back the death panels and FEMA camps.
