When you cancel your internet service, that will be the sign that you can't afford it anymore, and we will adjust accordingly, but until then, fetch the milking machine, wot?
What was your main gripe with NN Smitty? What is so bad about it?
I prefer large stable corporations which pay steady dividends over time, otherwise known as "blue chip" assets, anything which prevents those large stable blue chip corporations from extracting maximum value for the goods and services which they own, is clearly not in my interest.

I own those corporations, those corporations are me.

Companies selling ecryption works out for people who care about the fourth amendment etc. I'm just not impressed with the end regulation for free market argument. I may be naive for assuming that NN is the be all end all, but you are naive if you think ending it will lead us to Thomas Sowell land.

Ask yourself this - who convinced you that Netlix and Amazon's loss to AT&T was also your loss? Talk about misidentifying. Dude, it doesn't matter if the content providers jack your service rates, or if the ISPs jack your access rates. Your rates will be jacked by some company somewhere. So who fooled you into being a foot soldier for Bezos?
Cuz you done been swindled.

You're just wasting forum space. Try to formulate an argument, DB. Seriously. This is ridiculous.

Love to see them do what? Expose this crony as having colluded with ISPs to jam this vote through? I'd love to see that too, and I am relatively certain the evidence is there to be gathered by hackers.

Indeed, but in addition, these Net Leftality screechers are not in the majority and they don't put their money where their mouths are. It's a noisey minority which is outvoted by the market, the market wants stable returns, and the screechers can't live without their internet, ergo, cha-ching.

It's not like we're selling them tobacco here.

Mind you, Phillip Morris at 3.91% dividend, that's a buy.

@sta In principle do you believe that a competitive ISP market would fix this?

Of course. Competition is always good for the consumer. Always.
