Net neutrality vote: "The end of the internet as we know it"

You know absolutely nothing about net neutrality. Stop pretending you do.

(LOL) You don't have no idea, what I know about net neutrality but that is not the material covered in this blog. Stevie, stick to the material, please.

I know that all you "know" is what your masters tell you. Without deregulation you would not have the Internet as you know it.

Those regulations that the FCC voted to repeal, was there to protect the common people like you and I from big internet corporation's.

That link that you have provided of The breakup of the Bell System has nothing to do with yesterdays decision from The FCC.

Back to the topic: Those regulations that the FCC voted to repeal, was there to protect the common people like you and I from big internet corporation's.

The links I posted have everything to do with this topic. For the past TWO years Ron you have seen NO DIFFERENCE from the previous NINETEEN years.

P.S. Stop being a common person.

Stevie WTF are talking about? “For the past TWO years Ron you have seen NO DIFFERENCE from the previous NINETEEN years.” WHAT!!!

Read the link and do the math Ron. 2015-1996=19. 2017-2015=2. You have seen ZERO difference in the past 2 years, in "the Internet as we know it".

The FCC just cast their vote to end Net neutrality yesterday. Tell me what your link is talking about, can you do that?

We had net neutrality for 19 years prior to 2015.

After carefully researching these two links of yours, here's what I discovered and I have a couple of questions..

1. If we had net neutrality for 19 years prior to 2015, then what is the purpose for this link?: Breakup of the Bell System https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of... Stevie

2. In this second link that you have provided us, Telecommunications Act of 1996 is showing the internet the Telecommunications Act of 1996 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommun...

This blog effectively explores what the FCC has done along party lines to override the protections of a free and open internet on yesterday. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was the first significant overhaul of telecommunications law in more than sixty years, amending the Communications Act of 1934. The Act, signed by President Bill Clinton, represented a major change in American telecommunication law, since it was the first time that the Internet was included in broadcasting and spectrum allotment.

By reading, I found that, one of the most controversial titles was Title 3 ("Cable Services"), which allowed for media cross-ownership. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the goal of the law was to "let anyone enter any communications business -- to let any communications business compete in any market against any other."

Let us explore the material found at the top of this blog and focus are attention on this video report, OK!!!

Ron, the "net" in "net neutrality" means "network". When I started doing network development in 1983 consumer were using 300 baud (bits per second, or bps) modems. Businesses who could afford it were using 56k bps leased lines, very expensive. This was under a regulated monopoly, AT&T. When deregulation happened in 1984, it only took 10 years and everyone had 56k bps modems. For the next 21 years (1994-2015) network speeds got faster and faster. 2015 didn't improve that trend and 2017 will not degrade it. Your concern about network access speeds is like being afraid of a monster under your bed. Where you should be concerned in 2017 is monopoly/monster known as Google. Not too long ago I was looking for the text of the First Amendment but was unable to access it. THAT is scary.

Steve, we are not talking what "net neutrality" means or when you started doing network development in 1983. This blog is talking about The end of net neutrality may be here.

As you know already or should know that The Republican-led Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to approve a controversial plan to repeal Obama-era net neutrality protections. The repeal passed 3-2, along a party-line vote.

I believe that this decision puts the Federal Communications Commission on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American public.

Steve, The repeal would represent a fundamental shift to how the internet is regulated. The current net neutrality rules, approved in 2015, internet providers like Comcast (CCVCL) and AT&T (T) are barred from deliberately speeding up or slowing down traffic from specific websites and apps. The goal was to prevent those internet providers from picking winners and losers among content providers.

The repeal Obama-era protections was intended to keep the internet open and fair. Now this vote the federal government will stop micromanaging the Internet to let internet companies providers like Comcast (CCVCL) and AT&T from deliberately speeding up or slowing down traffic from specific websites and apps. The goal was to prevent those internet providers from picking winners and losers among content providers, by this vote, the FCC just handed them the keys to do just that.

The meaning of net neutrality is exactly what we are talking about Ron. Because you have no understanding of what it means, your democratic media masters are able to manipulate you into being afraid of a non-issue.

Steve, you are really sounding foolish when you come to the area of commenting on what I know, that only shows the people that are following this blog that you want to stay off topic, talking about what I don't know.

Your Words: The meaning of net neutrality is exactly what we are talking about Ron. No, we are not! This blog is talking about the vote that the FCC took on Dec 14th and what it means, as that strip the protects away from the people that they are suppose to protect.

Did you review this video report Steve?

Under these new rules the ISP's will be able to censor content.

2. They will be able to determine for you what you can't have to access some website.

3. They will be able to slow down your internet service until you pay more money to get many of the same services and content, that we are getting right now. Providers like amazon or Netflix will keep you from those site until you pay more money to access them.

Stevie, you have failed to talk about the content but yet you will try to misdirect the flow of this blog to attempt to talk about what I know or don't know. How low will you go to try to protect the wrongs that this administration under Trump is doing to The American People, how low will you go?

Now let us get back to the topic of Net neutrality vote: “The end of the internet as we know it” OK!!!

You will have all the access, all the speed you need Ron, just like you had before 2015.

Then why did Trump's FCC pass a law to gut the provisions in Obama's Net Neutrality Law?
