Exactly as I suspected then huh? Ya i find it hard to cheer for this, the CP lawyers can step in and answer the question but i know how this movie ends. I've seen it in other aspects of our life.

We should have let poor St. Vanderbilt keep his trains. :(

Okay, I guess I'm one of these fools you speak of.

Explain to me why Net Neutrality is a bad thing.

They're under the impression that these rules are set in stone and that no governing body has the power to change this....

It doesn't allow the rich to get richer.

Well sure, I'm not that foolish. I understand that when the tides change, so do the rules. But does that make this a bad ruling?

What scares me the most about this is the fact it sets precedent to do more unpopular things in the future. Am I wrong in assuming it will be easier to move forward regulating other aspects of the internet?
If you're saying it shouldn't have been ruled on in the first place, I totally agree. But, given that it was ruled on and there were two possible outcomes, one is clearly better than the other.

The people cheering this largely don't even understand what actually happened. This isn't just a one off law added by Congress.

the agency will regulate network owners by scooping them up under Title II of the 1934 Telecommunications Act, a specific set of regulations that apply to phone companies.
Maybe those people cheering will smarten up and figure it out. In the meantime, maybe the courts will strike down this FCC power grab on the issue, as they did the last time. One can always hope.

The people posting in this thread largely speaking in vague terms on the ignorance of others could always elaborate.

This

/its not getting struck down. That was a major reason they made this change, so it would stand up to the courts. When such a major element of your post is so very wrong, chances are the rest of the post is garbage as well.

So, from what I understand, a couple people think net neutrality is a slippery slope and now the FCC will control us all.

Gotcha.

You're reeruned.

In which specific aspects have you seen this?
