Net neutrality
PreciousPotato
Interesting way to get censorship in a country that's not supposed to be ruled like a dictatorship...

ISPs are already reducing the speeds that they promised to give. Just imagine what kind of profiteering schemes they can cook up with that.

My House rep looked me in the fucking eye and said he wouldn't vote for this. Guess what he did?
Zmeagol
Look forward to the big ISPs choosing who will and won't be successful in the future guys.

Much worse than this, the consumer is the one who ends up footing the bill since those companies will just charge us more.

if an ISP doesn't make all traffic the same can a small company file a lawsuit against the ISP for hurting their business?

This could easily be about politics as much as technology. Apply this to healthcare, education, etc, etc..

How much is the paid access? If I can afford it then maybe I'm on board...
yoshi
yeah, you go ahead and pay extra for it, while in europe unlimited FTTH costs 10eur
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
Firstly, no, you aren't. It's not about more speed for you it's about kneecapping (say) imgur for you unless imgur pays up.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
Finally, no, you aren't. The reason the internet is any good at all is setup costs of new ideas are comparatively small. This kills that.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
Secondly, no, you aren't. It won't be a speed boost for you everywhere (just buy a better package) it's more like a cable package.

Well how awful that people get more by paying more. My grocery store certainly doesn't work that way (more)
whyteraven74
Way to not understand how things work. The cost to the ISP doesn't change no matter how much you download.
FlorbFnarb
They have to pay regardless. They have a finite amount of bandwidth - is it wrong to charge according to how much bandwidth you use? (more)
FlorbFnarb
Should people who use it more not pay more?
whyteraven74
I know of no ISP that gets even close to maxing out on bandwidth. Plus they can always build more capacity.
FlorbFnarb
It doesn't matter. Charging more for using more is how everything else works in teh world basically.
FlorbFnarb
I pay a fixed amount and go take however much stuff I want; isn't everybody's grocery store like that? (more)
Scientificevidence
Oh, so your alternative to net-neutrality is data limits?
FlorbFnarb
Same at the gas station. I pay a fixed fee and get as much gas as I want. Sometimes I bring extra cans to fill up! (more)
FlorbFnarb
My water and electricity bills are the same way too; fixed fee, take however much I want. (more)
FlorbFnarb
Whoever thought up this "pay more to get more" nonsense? (more)

In other news, I like in Fantasyland, have a pet unicorn, and am dating Cindy Crawford from 1986, Jennifer Aniston from 1995...(more)

World. Most of the big companies host their data stateside. Something like 70% of the Internet's data goes through Virginia.
khora
This only applies to consumer ISPs in practice. A business can change ISP or move servers easily.

Legit question: How so?

It will not matter where bandwidths are high enough.

If ISP can implement it in USA, they will try it in other countries too.
Rhisereld
People from other countries still access things that are hosted in the USA, I suppose that will affect it?
xXxThatGuyxXx
because america doesn't own the internet, this affects everyone because if it can get passed in one country how many other countries will do
AminoEnergy
also, a lot of countries use american websites and apps, like twitter, facebook and snapchat
yourmomisminenow
Lad, at least atm, I'm not exactly sure other countries want to follow the USA's example.
xXxThatGuyxXx
the same
xXxThatGuyxXx
we already have it bad here, if net neutrality gets revoked, everyone is neutered
PreciousPotato
Nah... I mean, in countries where the leaders are establishing a dictatorship, like in Turkey, they censor the internet big time, /1
xXxThatGuyxXx
that is still very bad but wit the government that is run by a dictator that doesn't even know basic human rights well whats the internet
PreciousPotato
anyway. And the rest looks at this kind of cut-throat capitallism and is just "WTF?". I think the times when the US was a role model /2
GlobalTravel3r
Don't think this will go down verg well in Europe. Especially since we dont have a babboon calling the shots here
johnnyratbastard
This is the dumbest shit American politicians have ever been made to do by big business. Or is it? Maybe so far at least. No, probably not.

"made"? Naww. PAID. Every single one of those assgaskets in congress who voted for this got money for it.

This was a rollercoaster of emotions.

And what was up with those massive algae blooms down that way?
AsksTooManyQuestions
I hear that's seasonal, and also extremely harmful to the coastline. IIRC, it gets worse every year.
