I have been trying to get a better understanding on this net neutrality concept. From what I understand it will form two different internet speeds. The only question I have is, will this affect our forum?
Sounds like BS to me, and sounds to me like the typical "I have my uncle in the gobt office" in this case the FCC
Net neutrality - WikipediaWhat are you talking about?
It could.So now that I understand it do we think Fabo will be affected? It doesn’t seem like it would be but maybe Joey has different thoughts.
Its just a reversal to go back to 2014 rules.
If your think your internet connection was great then, it'll be fine after this too.
It’s not about your connection. It’s about how websites connect. So when they start charging netflix a premium, that will get passed onto you via your Netflix bill
This is what I have gathered also. For example if I want to log onto a specific website my cable provider could block me from doing so unless I paid a premium. Sort of like how some cable packages offer HBO as a premium and is not included on standard packages.
This could very easily result in me going without internet outside or work.
Something like this could happenIt means that Joey will have to pay what amounts to Protection Money to be visable on the net.... When we search for "Mopars" or Dusters FABO will be 100 pages down on the search! Amazon and Walmart and Apple will dominate every search.
It means you will have a hard time finding things on the net.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^What are you talking about?
Government stepping in and regulating what service has made it better, more innovative and affordable?
Oh yeah, Health Insurance...
Competition is what drives innovation forward and costs down.
Regulation always favors the well connected, well funded, wealthy interests.
We keep the ISP's honest.
There are people that have nothing better to do than sniff out and share every possible injustice perpetrated against humanity by Big Corporations and Big Government. Step out of line and we will hear about it.
There are no secrets anymore.
Old article but still relevant.
Am I The Only Techie Against Net Neutrality?
Government Regulations make the internet better? Not likely.
The IoT will evolve faster and better without Government slowing it down.
A look at the "Near Future"...
my 2¢ fwiw.
Off my soap box and back to the important stuff. Cars!
Here is a list of things that government regulation made better and lowered costs.

digital marketing companies like the one the author runs can rake in the cash working out agreements between the ISP’s and web content providers, determining what you see and how much you have to pay for it.
