re: It's interesting that so many have missed what the battle concerning NN is about

You just don’t understand how the internet works.

Nah, you obviously don't. Wireless and wired aren't even in the same market

ROFLMAO

I mean seriously. Did ANY of you frickers take or pay attention in economics?

Damn

Nah, you obviously don't. Wireless and wired aren't even in the same market. Normal consumers of the wired market would never use wireless as a replacement. Wireless doesn't have the capacity to support many users downloading at one time, Data caps for wireless are 2% of what wired ISPs offer, packet loss is way more severe, higher cost for consumer, ect..... Are you getting the hint of how a market is defined?

5G wireless capacity is/has been engineered to accommodate the same traffic as fixed connections, in the end wireless and fixed connections ride the same backbone networks. The edge of the network is not where the bottlenecking occurs.

The latest evolution in the core network is SDN (software defined) and Edge Computing. Edge Computing brings the necessary software/hardware to the edge of the cloud rather than into the core of the network mitigating the unnecessary transmission of data thus freeing up BW on the core network/backbone.

Omitted the other very important aspect of Edge Computing, reduces latency bigly.


Edge Computing and 5G technology

I love the idea that wireless can replace hard infrastructure with no drop in quality or speed.

Love it...

The whole idea is who gets to censor and control the narrative. Under NN, the tech giants can censor who they like, control the information they like, etc.

If that goes away, the telecoms can control/censor as they like by restricting access.

The only difference is the telecoms are regulated under the FCC. The silicon tech giants are not.

But reddit told you NN is good because Soros and the PR bots kept pushing the idiocy at you.

So let me get this straight:
1) Corporations controlling the narrative is bad.
2) Silicon tech giants are unregulated and control the narrative as they wish and this is also bad.
3) If NN goes away, the ISPs (corporations) can control the narrative as they wish by restricting access and this is good.

I don't really see how that makes even a tiny bit of sense. All the Pro-NN people want is for internet traffic to be treated equally.. the ISP sells a service that connects you to the internet at the speed specified in your contract. They don't care about ISPs being classified as common carriers and subject to Title II. Comcast does (and for good reason tbh).

Solution: rollback/partial rollback of FCC net neutrality ruling with the exception of how internet traffic must be treated. ISPs could still offer a variety of packages based on consumer needs (download speed, upload speed, data caps, access during peak times, etc).
