mccain is proposing a bill to allow ISPs to slow down or block internet content and applications of their choosing.

very hilarious/serious business



best part is mccain openly admitted in his campaign last year he has no idea how to use/never used a computer ever before in his life.

The link works in your quote, but not your original post.  Wut?

As for the actual topic: That's just dumb.

Holy hell, NS really is becoming 4chan, isn't it? Every thread now...

Anyway, I actually read the article...what a concept, right? Sounds pretty ridiculous. I wonder who's paying him for that.

its a shame that this bill is even being considered but i doubt it would pass. Im sure a company like Google (which we all know owns youtube) has a few lobbyists working for them. and im sure they have the ear of a few politicians. plus the FCC of all people is against it.

Honestly I haven't really stayed up to date with "Net Neutrality" stuff, but if I could have my way I would...

Not allow ISP's to filter websites
eg. Give Bing a better connection speed than Google... and not be able to discriminate against high bandwidth content eg. Torrents or HD Movies... why, because thats like UPS filtering your packages and sending some and throwing away others.

However ISP's should be able to limit your connection speed, and cap your usage. eg. if I get 10mb down and 1up I should be able to use that bandwidth for anything I please, just so long as I dont go over that limit, or reach a cap I have on my account.

obama just passed a bill deregulating the internet. Clearly time warner is paying mccain to promote this, and fail miserably just like his run for president.

There, I changed it just for you.

Anyway, McCain should learn how to use the internet before he tries to change it.
