WatchESPN didn't launch until late 2010. Maybe that's why you are for this since you clearly can't utilize the internet properly
WatchESPN is just the latest version of ESPN's streaming service.

ESPN's first streaming service launched in March, 2005 as "ESPN360" and "ESPN3."

They then changed the name and merged ESPN360/ESPN3 into a consolidated streaming service called WatchESPN in October, 2010 where just about all ESPN broadcasts can be streamed and viewed under the WatchESPN brand.

And that has what to do with the Net Neutrality government regulation being removed?

To prevent things such as:

Data discrimination
Bandwith throttling
Ideas such as 'tiered internet'

To prevent what is happening in Portugal from happening to us.

There are like 40 page threads on the subject.

CLEARLY, "this board" has a difference of opinion on the subject. Anyone saying otherwise is the moron.

Interesting.

I'm sure the number for donations trying to keep NN in place was $0

Rules that ISP's honor net neutrality principles have always been in place until today. TD never comes to exist without net neutrality.

Well, the issue is that this is another area that most of them have no clue about. Pride tells them to just agree with whatever the majority of trump supporters agree on, while logic, logic left a long time ago.


Yeah pretty much spot on.

89% of Democrats, 86% of Independents, and 75% of Republicans support NN. This is one of the few isssues with not only bipartisan support, but almost universal support.

But since Trump approves of repealing NN that’s the only validation they need.

What are you talking about? Most people here hate the decision.

I still can't get any of you to explain how the internet thrived without the regulation for the last 30 years.

They have been found to be doing it before so what are the odds they just spent all that money lobbying for the power and them not using it?

Sounds like some people are upset because they will have to start paying their fair share.

They were ok with having their gratuitous internet usage subsidized by other people.
