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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
