1. who is it going to be made by? and i don't think the FCC can really do anything except remove N/N due to a court ruling anyway
2. i agree. the fate of the internet should not be left to government at all. i don't think that's what you meant, but it's a poignant time to make that point.

Technology scares a lot of people.

Giving corporations more control of your life is a non-starter in my opinion.
most of the great things in my life, outside of personal relations, are from corporations
look around at all the shite you own/lease that corporations made, and think about how shitty the offerings were when you were a kid. corporations made that change happen.

I cannot foresee how they can actually impact my internet activities. It may cost me a bit more money but I don't pay for that anyway.
Its others I worry about.
a prevailing issue i have with liberal-progressive thought is their assumption that average-normal people are too stupid to make their own choices. this is one of those examples.

1) its should be legislative, so congress
2) I would be 100% for this! But you can't have the gov't half in/half out. And that is what you are suggesting.

actually for the most part, it was people that created these things that were then taken advantage of by corporations.

well they are too stupid. But honestly I think if you explained net neutrality in simple terms to the everyman, they would probably side against it 75% of the time. Its just a guess, but if you phrased it -
You have three choices:
- Your favorite website remains the same
- Your favorite website stays the same but you have to pay more
- Your favorite website take 3x longer to load but you might be eligible for a discount
Which do you think a consumer is going to pick?
