Nothing. Did you not understand what I wrote?
And why should private companies not have control over what is routered across their connections? If the infrastructure is public domain net neutrality is fair enough, but if it is private infrastructure what business does a govt have controling it... unless the US is making yet another step towards socialism?
Telcos have always been
public utilities, created and regulated since they are handed a guaranteed customer base free of cost and have significant influence on the infrastructure of a community. They are regulated to prevent them from holding the public hostage.
Your customers are paying to be connected to a global network that is neutral. The internet
is public domain that you and your ilk are trying control.
If you think Net Neutrality is a good thing lets see how you feel when P2P apps make playing AH near on impossible.
What??
Your post looks suspiciously like the type of post made by someone in the internet surveillance industry.
Info: internet surveillance companies are like the old telephone boiler rooms. Some companies are manned by hundreds of people sitting all day in front of a computer who search and post canned responses to BBS, blogs and news comment sites. There are contracted by companies to search and neutralize any negative comments made about the client company or its products by bombarding them with positive canned responses, and by industry groups with an agenda.
