So, how do you think your new tiered internet experience will be? How many sites do you think will be blocked? How much profit (in multiples) do you think the big Telco companies, who think they are better than us and think that the size of their bank account equals the size of their gonads, will make?

How bad do you think some of our dear US politicians need a Machuhatil + 1 shoved up their

This is horrible.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with them. Ugh... what's this about tiers though?

Well, if you have read the post "Save the Internet!", you'll know. But let me break it down.

They're trating the Internet like cable, telling you that you can't view sites unless you pay more. And this is both on the sides of the web admins and the users.

So if Google wants to be seen on the net through, say, Verizon, they would have to pay a Tier fee so that people who use Verizon can use their website.

Does anyone else think this could really lead to horrible things such as a highly propagated internet with distorted reports/etc...?

When you control media; nations, wars and lives are within your power.

That's basically how I feel wrapped up into a picture. :/

People are getting too F*&#ing greedy for their own good. The person who came up with the idea of the internet, has said in interviews that he wanted it to stay free for those using it. What a bunch of great freaking asshats we have in our government.

..........I'm voting Democrat from now on. >: (

None

How much profit (in multiples) do you think the big Telco companies, who think they are better than us and think that the size of their bank account equals the size of their gonads, will make?

Welcome to the entire point of capitalism

Irrelevant, the internet is a collection of private networks and has been since it was opened up and detached from DARPA.

Moaku Hyena, ....

Congratulations on not understanding what is going on.

Also Irrelevant unless you think the UK intends to remove itself from the global internet and create a UK only network.

A year from now, I doubt most will even notice a difference.

Actually, look at the senators and republicans who are supporting Net Neutrality. It doesn't appear to be a partisan issue at all. Seems to be people from both parties on both sides of the fence. There are a lot of partisan issues in Congress, this one however I don't think is.

anything that the big corporations want to see passed that does pass will likely be struck down by the courts if they don't get vetoed.
