  1. or else then it's one more way your ISP & broker can screw you with. We wouldn't want another layer of complication.


    "A widely-cited example of a violation of net neutrality principles was when the Internet service provider Comcast was secretly slowing (a.k.a. "throttling") uploads from peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) applications by using forged packets.[6] Comcast didn't stop blocking these protocols like BitTorrent until the FCC ordered them to do so.[7] In 2004, The Madison River Communications company was fined $15,000 by the FCC for restricting their customer’s access to Vonage which was rivaling their own services. [8] AT&T was also caught limiting access to FaceTime, so only those users who paid for the new shared data plans could access the application.[9] In April 2017, an attempt to compromise net neutrality in the United States is being considered by the newly appointed FCC chairman, Ajit Varadaraj Pai.[10][11]" from wiki

    Ajit Pai can go f*ck himself. FCC asks for comments on net neutrality (a subject which has already been decided), and then he ignores public comments and does whatever the f*ck he wants. He needs to be fired and then publicly shamed somehow. Government for the people - what a joke.

    Anything that benefits the common public is being axed. The contraction of privilege & power is being ratcheted up to extreme levels. What the majority of voters want, they could care less. Looks like Trump & his party is on he hook to the 1%ers is at a level never imagined before.
