Remember when I advised you to get back to me when you get to the chapters on Natural Monopolies, Regulatory Capture, Implicit and Explicit subsidization, Rent-Seeking, and Market Failure?

Take that advice.

You are trying to take an apple(perfectly competitive markets) and apply it's properties to an orange(A defacto natural monopoly in most areas of the country with heavy regulatory capture, monopolistic completion with regulatory capture in a small minority).

You might be able to get that one past with some people around here, but I and others can see that for the fallacy it is. And the more you keep pressing it, the more you are exposing yourself to the ridicule you have rightly been earning from so many people.

What catastrophe thats costs outweigh their benefits has befallen us that can be directly attributed to net neutrality that demands its repeal with no replacement indefinitely? How militant are you in these beliefs as well? Have seatbelt laws and requirements that reduced fatalities by thousands annually, are they a slippery slope we need to repeal? Air bags? Driver's licenses? Clean water act? Measures that reduced the acid rain problem that was intensifying? Was banning ATT as a natural monopoly from restricting any phones on their exclusive subsidized networks not bought and sold by them wrong?

Start there. Than make the positive argument for why not having net neutrality and why returning to a period of extortionary creep and trust in ISP's is a superior arrangement? Which you continue to infer.

These lazy begging the question arguments are old.

There are few if any perfect competitive markets. And isps aren't the de-facto natural monopoly. In any case your response has nothing to do with the past you responded to

LOL. I'm still smarter than you. Live with it

Which simply codified what had been taking place already. Net neutrality is how it has existed since inception, now the ISP's want to change that. What benefit do we gain from letting them do so?

---

No it didn't. Are covering for your lack of knowledge??

Net neutrality as you know it went into place in 2015.

He doesn't want to answer those questions because he doesn't have one.

He knows that, I think its time we just assume it as well. Unless he wants to prove otherwise.

Because it's not true. If it were true, rolling back those "protections" wouldn't be a big deal, eh??

Maybe, just maybe it will dawn that the issue isn't the fair treatment of the internet, but the Title 2 classification

NN remained the default until it didn't in many circumstances.

Was it regulated as such?

No. We're back to where we were in 2014

You trying to explain what he means

quote:

---

So packets were given priority over others then right? And then in 2015 that stopped?

---

You said we've always had net neutrality. Then, the regulations increased, now they're gone and were back to pre regulation days to which you claimed "we always had NN"

So whats the fricking problem? If we already had it as you claim and we're back to that point, no harm no foul, eh?
