I sincerely hope Ajit Pai gets slapped in his Indian goddamn face for trying to do something so cruel and stupid.

If you think Jewish people are cheap, you are dead wrong! [Eastern] Indians are cheap! Jewish people are willing to negotiate, but Indians won't.

For the record, it's just planning to return to Type I net neutrality.

Type II is there so the consumers don't get screwed over as opposed to Type I.
We've had AT&T as our ISP since 2002, and they're huge throttle junkies compared to Cox Communications in the OKC area. After 2015, they throttled less often and had improved their network quality, so much that people are switching over to them from Cox, not to mention cheaper for the still shittier performance.

Now there should be a petition to bring back net neutrality

Because the government bein' in charge of the internet can only lead to good things...?

No.

What do ye think 'Net Neutrality' is mate?
An who will enforce it?

I think net neutrality should be a right

Why don't we expand this concept then?

* We shouldn't have any restaurants with different food. That would be an indication people can pay for better food and service: all restaurants should be force to demand the same price for exactly the same style of service and food.

* We shouldn't have different car dealerships. This would be an indication people could pay for better cars. All cars should be exactly the same and every dealership should be forced to charge the same price for the same cars.

Ok

Ye...don' see the issue here? At all?

Heck, let's make EVERY product entirely equal. Ye can't charge any more or less fer any product an all qualities of said products must be equal. An if ye don' do this according to government regulations ye will be thrown in jail.

Freedom...?

You're missing the point and making false equivocations. Net Neutrality prevents internet companies from tacking on absurd charges and throttling information as much as they please for premiums that you know as well as I do aren't going to be 'fair'.

Who is going to ensure this fairness is enforced, and what kind of power will those people have?

I do like the supposition that NO company will not implement evil schemes, even if people have the choice of providers which Net Neutrality wouldn't allow them.

Imagine you have hundreds of choices, many with different prices for different things. You choose as you please. Bad services get left in the dust by other services providing better materials at cheaper prices.

Now imagine no other choice but one speed, one quality all controlled by a massive government agency which polices content and quality for the sake of keeping everything 'equal'.

Just saying.

The very likely nightmare scenario is that EVERY company will implement money-squeezing schemes. The least expensive package of the least expensive company will go up, and if you want normal, stable, unregulated internet, like it is NOW, you'll have to pay the biggest companies' absurd "Premium" delux plus ++ turbo with high speed boost package at an insane markup.

Ideally this SHOULDN'T happen, but if net neutrality dies, there is nothing preventing it from happening. It's also not a secret that a lot of smaller internet companies as they are now do not provide good, stable service, and everyone suddenly switching to them will -not- make them any better. I like the idea of a free market, too, but there really is a point where you're just throwing ordinary people to a wolves' den. You can like the supposition that no company will be that bad; I ask you, what if they do?

Guess this is why there are no quality video games, television, films food, cars, any commodity because every single company always uses money-squeezing schemes without direct government intervention into every aspect of professional life.

Except that there is.

Also

'You can like the supposition that government will be that bad; I ask you, what if they do?'

The Capn' can just switch services ifn' he doesn't like a company.

Can ye 'switch' governments?

Im not suggesting that it should belong to the government, either. I trust it about as much as I trust big corporations, but you also did not answer my question.


What if every company becomes an over-expensive mess with absurdly throttled internet; which is a thing that could happen now.

It also has to go through Congress.

Their jobs are dependent on if people are willing to vote for them. If they have any sense of self preservation, they will vote against the repeal of Net Neutrality.

By the looks of it I think the internet is doomed

Ajit's just being a dirty businessmen. This is capitalism at it's finest. His aim is to pave the way fro ISPs to legally screw customers and make a buck off it. While Trump uses the nets full power for whatever evil deeds he has in mind.

Though still. Congress, and court is left to go through. If we all keep fighting. We might still be able to stop them.

It all comes down to choice and he chooses to push his masters agenda/business for NWO Agenda, why else do you think they do this? so they get something out of it at the expense of others, so, their you go, just let the Data Flow.
