I fear the internet being regulated as a utility faaaar more than I do losing so called net neutrality.



Why?

And considering the fact that the internet didn't crash and burn in the past 2-3 years, its humorous this statement is int he same post as this one:

You didn't answer my question. Is there more than one utility that operates transmission lines to your house?


There isn’t more than one company operates high speed cable service to my house.

Ding Ding. Here is the problem, similar to the whole climate change arguments, the naming is used to pit people against each other who really aren't.

You come out against "Net Neutrality" and you get labeled as against an open and free internet, when in actuality, you are against a stupid arse law that was very poorly written, and one that can be achieved through other means that would leave out the worst parts of the law as it is currently written.

What does this high speed cable service provide you access to? There are no other services that also provide you access to this same place?

No. It's a simple fact ISPs aren't natural monopolies.

Give me a realistic alternative to NN that resolve the regional pseudo monopolies created through bought and paid for state and local regulators.

No.

Shills are saying that they like the idea to dampen public support against it.

But the reality is that the FCC commissioner is on record saying no adjusted rules are needed. That the long long list of ISPs pushing the line on net neutrality are all complete lies. There is NO push to strip Title 2 attachment to ISPs and replace it with something more appropriate. None.

NN does nothing to address this subject for starters.

That's just not true. There was a bill proposed in 2014 to achieve just this. The FCC tried multiple times as well on their end. The ISPs were even on board with them. I'm not meaning this as a party issue, but the reason it did not pass in 2014 was because Dems wanted it to be title II. period.

It doesn’t directly resolve the issue, but it provide some measure of consumer protection against unfair and monopolistic action by cartel activity from ISPs.

If you want to unwind NN, you have to find something else that will do that.

Well, NN does nothing to address this either. While the issues are very much connected, I don't know if the same law would be able to fix both. The Republican bill in 2014 basically achieves the end goals of the current law, without re-classifying to Title II.

As to the state/local issues. I honestly don't know what the best way to remedy that problem, but that is a much bigger issue that the current NN law did a great job of deflecting attention away from.
