I havent been following the case, but ehy are people so mad about net neutrality?
I mean, I wouldn't use an ISP that regulates what I can and cannot access, but they'll just dig their own grave as an example for everyone else. If they were to regulate the content for their customers, what stops a rich business man from starting his own "Free ISP"? If you care about not cucking yourself you just move to the new, unregulated ISP.
So again, whats the problem?
>I wouldn't use an ISP that regulates what I can and cannot access

The problem is, every major ISP would regulate what you can and cannot access. So unless you're literally going to move across the country, you don't have much of an option.
You're a retard and you should cease to exist.
Well, I just explained/theorized how the free market would make a new and upcoming unregulated ISP would attract alpt of customers>money>profitability>market, so it would just segment the ISPs into good and shitty service providers.
If the -current- US ISPs woumd be secured a monopoly on serving the internet, I see the problem, but thats not the case, is it?
>the free market
kek
>but thats not the case, is it?
It is though.
What prevents a business man from starting his own ISP? Thats anti-competitive and communistic
>free market
>in a market full of monopolies
You must be kidding me.
>what stops a rich business man from starting his own free isp

What stops you from entering CPU market?
Fuck off, you don't know anything about what's going on. Did you just get out of elementary school?
Well idk but I dont live in America and I thought the entire country was built on the principles of freedom and capitalism
I do know what happends, and although I would never use a cuck ISP, why even use it? Unregulated competitors will surely come
Mostly research and money. Internet om the other hand isnt even close to that complicated though
>Internet om the other hand isnt even close to that complicated though
retard spotted
What's harder: making some routing hardware, some datacentres and some cables or compressing 1 billion transistors into a small chip?
user, you seriously think neoliberalism works?
The cables is harder mate.
You just have to buy machinery for the CPUs and you can do them at home.
im actually a natsoc, so I have another ideology...
are you just pretending to be a brainlet OP?
instead of beating around the bush why cant you just tell me what is wrong? Can you argue against what ive written so far???
>[w]hy are people so mad about net neutrality?
Net neutrality has had a very good marketing campaign.
This is a troll thread, but on the off-chance someone believes you: the red tape and legal fuckery involved in starting up an ISP is an absolute disaster, and every major ISP is in backroom agreements not to compete with one another. Even Google is struggling to roll out Google Fiber, and they have as many resources as a player in this space can.
It's fucked up that this conversation is even happening, because ditching Title II protections accomplishes nothing positive for any Internet user and there's literally no reason to do it, but there you go.
In the US, most people have a choice of 1 or 2 cable providers. Google tried breaking into the market and failed because they were blocked by Comcast and ATT exploiting government regulations. Net neutrality exists to make Comcast and ATT respect all traffic since the government can't break them up and there's no real competitors.
research the roll out issues Google has been having trying to do exactly this! Current, traditional ISPs have local contracts with local town and county governments giving them a pseudo-monopoly on the area; making it near impossible for someone new to roll out new cabling (and related infrastructure) and provide competing services. If even fucking GOOGLE is having a fuck-all time making its own ISP what the hell makes you think any-other-joe can just come up and do so??
most if not all internet infrastructure is built on taxpayer dime and ISPs turn around and fuck over their clients
Majority of Muricans, and this issue is mostly about them, have barely one provider in their area.
Free market doesn't work for ISP there as they are in the monopoly agreement, and they grease the palms of anyone who even think of changing that.
The main issue is that for a hell of a lot of people they only have one or two ISPs to choose from. This already gives the ISP a monopoly/duopoly which is shit for the consumer. Now it will be even more shit as they will be able to charge extra depending where the packets of data are coming from or going to.
It makes no difference if a packet of data comes from Netflix or elsewhere as a packet is a packet but ISP want to be able to analyze how you use the internet then either charge you more to use the service you want or make the service such that you switch to another (hopefully theirs if they offer an alternative) service.
An example - So you might have a 500mbps connection with Verizon but unless you pay an extra $50/month you will only actually get 10mbps to Netflix so no 4k streaming for you unless you pay extra!
You're saying this:
- i would be fine with a regulation that is there to protect me to be gone.
- i would be fine being potentially (and most likely) in a worse situation than i am now. Just to have the idea and hope that eventually it could get better.
That is what is wrong with my community right now. One company basically has a monopoly over all internet service. I think is it -possible- for others to come in but the time money and effort just would not be worth combating it.
