    This is not a good thing. Especially for cable cutters.

    It isn't if you are a socialist.

    This goes well beyond party lines. I am hardcore republican but I do not agree with this.

    Basically now if you have att internet but not cable, they can choose to slow down your speed to slingtv. This would basically cut out the internet tv users.

    I read about this more than most political issues in recent months.

    It looks to me, and I would love to be wrong, that we just handed over control of internet access to large TV, internet, and media companies. I have never met anyone who said they had a good customer experience with Comcast or Uverse or any cable provider. I think we just handed them the keys.

    I hope that is right.

    This is from Fox news:

    "The net neutrality regulations imposed utility-style regulation on Internet service providers such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon to prevent them from favoring their own digital services over their rivals – for instance, by blocking or slowing certain content."

    "Smaller tech websites such as Reddit, Kickstarter and Mozilla put dramatic overlays on their sites Tuesday in support of net neutrality. Twitter on Wednesday was promoting #NetNeutrality as a trending topic. Other big tech companies were more muted in their support. "

    I have not seen an article explaining where small business wins in this, but I certainly hope to be wrong.

    Small businesses will absolutely be hurt!

    Its not just facebook and Netflix, its also wetransfer, LinkedIn, the while apple cloud.

    Bottom line if a small business uses the internet its not going to be pretty in the coming years

    Screw Obama but stopped clock and all that

    There has to be a balance between free market and regulation. otherwise, insurance companies would do everything they can to find and excuse to deny claims (more than they already do), banks would trick borrowers into loans that are doomed to failure (more than they already do), and internet and cable providers would not give two shits about customer service, service level agreements, etc. (more than they already do), just as a few examples.

    This will hurt everyone except those who hold the keys, like DJP said.

    That's exactly the problem. Of course they won't prioritize them, in fact they will deprioritize them unless you got Netflix kinda money and even they don't like

    Who are you even yelling at? I'm not sure if it is me or the Original Poster. Either way, calling someone ignorant without a single bit of punctuation is just silly.

    I'll be the first to say I don't care. I didn't notice a difference when they inacted Net Neutrality and i likely won't notice a difference after.

    I'll be killing ducks and shooting clays.
