AT&T: Title II Regulation Won’t Ban Fast Internet Lanes

http://www.billingworld.com/news/20...gulation-won-t-ban-fast-internet.aspx#content


basically, these companies want to devote more of the network capacity for "bullshit" traffic and less of it for other traffic.

seriously reading this just pissed me off. I fuckin hate the fuckin commercialism these days, its fucking sickening! i hate it hate it hate it HATE it!!! .. fuck outta here google, u were cool till u got so much fuckin $$$, evil money!

the internet is about a trillion freakin miles from what it used to be, and what it was intended to be! but they can't really change what it is, they can flood it with bullshit, and offer bullshit services and convince a multitude of people to use those shitty services but they'll never be able to change it.

nope, as hard as they may try .. they can't change what the internet is, only people's idea of what it is .. cuz in the end it's all TCP/IP so suck a dick you fuckin douche bag LOSERS !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:devil:

 

add this to all of the data collection and malware.

companies butt-raping people as hard as they can get away with. so what else is new?

 

What would you like to see different in the behaviour of internet consumers (in this regard)?

 

not use the word consumer when referring to the internet

to realize that the internet is an information medium, a place to learn and share knowledge. e-commerce is fine but it doesn't need to be made so damn commercial and shit. even tho the cable company provides internet access it's not the same as cable tv. what are they gonna start doing, injecting ads and shit that you're forced to watch before you can go elsewhere? i mean, that shit would be possible to do; then i would boycott that ISP for sure!

no one ISP can own the internet tho, cuz the internet isn't one thing that any one company can own, and there should be regulations in place to keep any one communications company from owning too much of the infrastructure.

ISPs already hijack dns requests and redirect pages that don't exist to a server with ads and shit, so I change my DNS servers cuz i don't like shit like that

 

Ace, can you recommend a website where I could learn a bit more about how the internet works and what this all means? I'm very ignorant when it comes to this stuff.

 

The lack of network neutrality is censorship and effectively means that telecounicatioms companies can requlate not only bandwidth, but content.

A lot of it is our failure asTT voters as well. Three are not just free speech reasons for open data exchange, the internet is essential public infrastructure. There are pragmatic national security reasons we don't let Mcdonalds or China own Interstate highways. But we have't inveted in fiber like we should have and are now subject to the wills of the telecoms. There are only half a dozen top tier providers.

You're concerns are absolutly valid.

 

But in your signature line you are all about makin some fuckin' $$$

If you are so dead set against it why are you joining them... Or it's okay for you but not them?


Truthfully the whole deal sucks but I have no say in the matter.

 

sure

learning about the TCP/IP protocol is a good place to start, since that is the protocol that defines the data format, and rules of how devices on networks communicate with each other. the internet is essentially one giant TCP/IP network. networks use other protocols as well, a protocol stack can have many protocols which can then be broken down. ethernet networks pack TCP/IP packets into frames but the most important one to understand IMO is TCP/IP

 

One might also consdier the Eff's page on net neutrality.

nothing wrong with making money, or companies, it's the fact that these giant corporations have so much money that they feel they need to throw their weight around as much as they do. it's when companies dominate so much of the market that "consumers" have little other choices that there becomes a problem

 

Number one priority for a corporation, making money for the investors...


regardless of who it harms in the long run.

 

It's called competition... or free-market forces... or monopoly... or something...what are you, a damn communist?

 

monopoly is the word your lookin' for, not quite a monopoly but its getting close in a lot of markets

not a communist, fuckin anarchy man

 

Anarchy leads most likely to a situation where the right of the strongest counts most. In our economy the corporations are often the strongest. So there
