it will have exactly zero change

I am almost 100% sure youre wrong.

 

The changes will take place over time but in 5 years your post will be eminently laughable is my guess

a company like "Sprint" will provide unlimited everything

 

all you have to do is watch the cellular trends, its better now than it was 10 years ago

 

its ok though Y2K is going to crash the world

Dude. We live in china. Net neutrality is hardly our biggest online problem.

Well, we're blocked from seeing youtube without a VPN, we don't need it slowing down even further. Nor the crap we download already taking so long.

Somebody needs to do with this thread what I did to RLLD's Hyperinflation is Coming thread (until Ray deleted it) and give it a bump every month for five years to see what happens with net neutrality.

 

In the original thread, I told Ray that his hyperinflation theory was utterly absurd. That I'd give him ten years for hyperinflation to come before I declared victory.

 

Unfortunatly, he deleted Hyperinflation is Coming after I was bumping it each month for a few years but my funeral services for the thread remain. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=441005

 

We're now a month past eight years. So if no hyperinflation arrives in the next 23 months, I'll fell safe declaring victory. If it does, maybe he'll return and start posting again.

Anyone who thinks the internet companies lobbied (bribed) congress so hard for something that will have no negative impact on the consumer is naive.

This was my thought. We know this was passed because ISPs lobbied their asses off, which means lots of money was spent. Now they are just going to keep it business as usual? What was the damn point of changing the bill then? There is zero positivity coming from this for consumers

I agree, but hardly anyone thinks ending net neutrality is inconsequential.

Good now companies can expand and be created without government restrictions. It was barrier of entry. That's why the big corps liked it.

Obama-era “Net Neutrality” allow Google, Facebook, Twitter censorship

 

Those arguing for the repeal of the Obama-era “Net Neutrality” rules argue Pai’s campaign to end Title II regulation of the Internet is a “noble cause” – a move that does not “kill net neutrality,” but rather reverses the unprecedented power grab of the Obama-era FCC in conjunction with the tech left forces in Silicon Valley, Soros’s Open Society Foundation, and the Ford Foundation.

Trump supporters backing Pai note the Internet’s growth, explosive innovation, and flow of free expression occurred free from public utility regulation.

Ironically, since the 2015 rules were put in place, instances of blocking and censoring have only occurred at a rapid pace on platforms owned by Facebook, Google, and Twitter, which all lobbied hard for the 2015 “Net Neutrality” rules, which were carefully crafted so as to not touch those companies.

Huge surprise. ISP's are looking for government hand-outs, because broadband is an essential utility, like electricity, gas and water.

 

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/isps-want-to-be-utilities-but-only-to-get-more-money-from-the-government/

 

Broadband lobby groups are arguing that Internet service is similar to utilities such as electricity, gas distribution, roads, and water and sewer networks. In the providers' view, the essential nature of broadband doesn't require more regulation to protect consumers. Instead, they argue that broadband's utility-like status is reason for the government to give ISPs more money.
That's the argument made by trade groups USTelecom and NTCA—The Rural Broadband Association. USTelecom represents telcos including AT&T, Verizon, and CenturyLink, while NTCA represents nearly 850 small ISPs.
"Like electricity, broadband is essential to every American," USTelecom CEO Jonathan Spalter and NTCA CEO Shirley Bloomfield wrote Monday in an op-ed for The Topeka Capital-Journal. "Yet US broadband infrastructure has been financed largely by the private sector without assurance that such costs can be recovered through increased consumer rates."

Liberals really pushed hard to make the internet a public utility. They thought it would protect the badly worded net nutrality.

 

They got it and of course failed to see the next step which is this. This is why liberals make terrible leaders. Everything they do is about feelings.

This is fallout from after net-neutrality was repealed. It isnt a partisan issue. These corps want the advantages of being a public utility while still being able to gouge customers. Stay in your lane, because you have no idea what the fock youre talking about here. I realize your lane is pretty narrow, but surely you can find a thread to barf your clueless vitrol somewhere on the front page.

It absolutely is a partisan issue. Liberals pushed for it. Conservatives where like meh the internet has been fine since the beginning.

 

Look I don't like politics in every thread but these clearly is political. Hell all you have to do is look at your local government and see how they are bought out by whatever provider has a monopoly.

What exactly makes this political? Do you think electricity, sewage, water etc should be owned and operated by the private sector? Do you think your bandwidth should be throttled based on what websites, streaming services, etc. you use? Do you want to subsidize corporations that are already making record profits and paying historically low taxes? Who pays for and manages the infrastructure? The tax payer twice?

A year after net neutrality's demise, the Internet is faster

 

They said we would be neanderthals by now, savages scraping ourselves with pieces of broken pottery every time our cat videos wouldn’t buffer. But the Internet apocalypse hasn’t happened.

 

It has been remarkably unremarkable without net neutrality, one year after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai killed the Obama-era Internet rule that required service providers to treat each piece of content identically.
