Is that a female(boy)?

I sure hope not

Too late. Already ejaculated.

Leftists are scaring people with horror story's of what leftists corporations will do to your internet if you let right wing government remove leftist regulations that were put in place because leftist government lost a court case to a leftist corporations.

As near as I can figure that's what it boils down to. I would bet money that NN also creates artificial barriers to entry for new ISPs. If the FCC gets rid of NN and then moves forward with what its talking about and letting new ISPs form and experiment with new tech and pricing models and let the free market make something.

No can't let that happen because only be corporations exist to fulfill you needs goy.

Net neutrality basically classifies ISPs as public utilities like power and electric. Under this classification they are not allowed to give preferential treatment to site traffic and they cannot censor sites they or their investors do not like. It treats ISPs as a gateway to the internet.

There is a lack of competition, and some people will scream about ISPs having a monopoly, but as with power and water there is no need for competition because they legally cannot gouge consumers as prices are monitored and controlled by the public utilities commission.

Season well and send to hell

Net neutrality is bad for American business and must be scrapped.

slide threads aren't real
I just want information and am too lazy to go look for it myself

Internet is not power or water. I want them to compete for my business its how you get better shit in the end.

typo be = big corporations exist to fulfill...

Competition in the ISP market is different from most other markets. Established ISPs already have gone through the hoops to lay fiber and get government approval and construction to bring the internet to business and personal.

If you were going to establish a new ISP now your investors would need to wait years to start seeing your company even start to take off. The barrier for entry is extremely high for a new ISP, that's why before net neutrality there were so few competitors and the market was pretty much monopolized in a lot of areas to begin with.

All data is treated as that, data. It doesn't matter if you're streaming a video from Youtube or you're downloading a bunch of documents, its all treated as the same. The removal of net neutrality means that corporations can put different values on data at their own discretion. They can decide that traffic from one website is more valuable than another. Then they can block your access to it or throttle your speed to it until you pay them special access fees or buy subscription plans.

Put it this way. Imagine if you had to pay special prices to run your washing machine compared to using your tv. Its the same electricity, they just decide to charge you more for using one appliance over another. This is where we're headed.

Net neutrality is dead. It died years ago.

Let it be.

This is slide thread meant to distract Sup Forums from actually doing anything remotely useful.

Are monopolies a good thing? If your answer is no then you don't believe in a fully free market. You believe there are some government regulations that are needed. In this case ISP, much like power and electric which have much of their infrastructural built into public/government land through laid piping or wiring. ISPs are just gateways to the internet, these gateways to the internet should not be giving preferential treatment to certain sites they like.

It's not some market tons of people are clamoring to get into because of the gigantic risk and long wait times to even be able to start competing against companies that have established infrastructures. That is why net neutrality is needed, a lot of these companies have already had monopolies in areas before net neutrality was even a thing, much like power and water. Unlike regular monopolies they are classified as public utilities so they cannot gouge consumers like the pharmasutical company recently who had a monopoly on the production of epipen where they were charging consumers $600 per pen

Lol, this is absurd. If this idea was suggested here, people would go apeshit and burn the streets down.

>because they legally cannot gouge consumers as prices
Cox would like to have a word with you
They spit in my face once a month for mediocre internet
Meanwhile folks in poorer countries have better internet at a fraction of the cost
Go fuck yourself kike

Can you guys give me a few (you's) on this thread and I'll only post once.

without net neutrality YOU'LL PAY $5/MONTH MORE FOR NAPSTER

You wouldn't even see competition appear in your area for years if at all because of how hard it is to set up one.

Also you are generally comparing small countries to the US that is still setting up infrastructure to smaller areas like yours. Or comparing the internet in big cities in other countries to rural areas in the US which is equally idiotic.
