Infinite gay right there. That means EVERYTHING I use the internet for would be destroyed. If this bill gets passed SOOO many people are going to kill themself.

Uh, you havent seen the moby video on myspace?

**Silver_Brian** · 06-14-2006, 10:20 PM

Who goes to myspace?

ddrdanc3r55 · 06-14-2006, 10:22 PM

Millions of people go to MySpace.

Great.
Just great.

Benn (The Flashbulb) on the issue of Net Neutrality.

There's a thread about net neutrality in CT.

Guys...we WANT this to pass... if not, companies like AT&T can LIMIT our connections to large sites like Google.

LD, I'm glad this WASN'T passed by the House (although I know Fluorescent got his sides backward).

The solution to all of our problems isn't "Go get the government."

Oh great... this means another wave of Americans moving to Canada... I still haven't gotten used to the first wave. Not that I mind Americans... it's just that I'm still a little disoriented when 1/10 kids in my school are from the USA.

EDIT: I better mention something else, so I'll say "It's a sad day for all citizens of the world when capitalisation of the world's only true international medium folds to the concept of a two-tier system. It's sad to think that the world I live in is being sold off to the highest bidder."

Aasum, has there been a problem yet with some web pages loading slower? No, but the ISPs have been able to do that forever. Will there be a problem with it in the future? I highly doubt it. Highly.

Why is everyone crying so much when nothing's changed yet and likely won't?

Because if something DOES change then our entire lifestyles could be invaded and our freedoms further limited.

It is, in fact, a big deal.

You guys are too antsy. The way I see it, only a few of the ISPs will try to limit anything because if they do then they lose customers. I can see AOL being among these few.

It's a problem because the fact that it's being mentioned can seguay into a real problem. The concept of it being argued shows that it's seriously being concidered on a wide-scale. After that -- what next? If it's being debated in congress, then that means it'll be in discussion for quite a while, even if it doesn't pass. This is a big, pressing issue. Even the fact that it's being considered offends me.

GuidoHunter · 06-15-2006, 02:01 PM

It offends me, too, to think that the government is entertaining the idea of stepping in where it doesn't belong.

Also, all this discussion and attention is the best thing that could happen. If everyone knows about it and pays attention to it, then the ISP's can't sneakily charge extra. With all their customers watching them like hawks, the first move on their part will cause everyone to drop their service.

Either that, or everyone will be completely content with paying for slow internet or basic internet. Neither of these outcomes is illegal or even bad.

BTW: segue.

Wait... This only affects America?

GuidoHunter · 06-15-2006, 02:19 PM

Well, we are talking about American law here. I can only assume that other countries can do what they want with regard to regulating their proper ISPs.

And so far, nothing's changed. American ISPs can still charge what they want for the services they give.

I am pretty sure I started a save the internets thread about this a month ago.

GuidoHunter · 06-15-2006, 03:47 PM

That was before the vote, though, so it died.
