Data Analysis Of FCC Comments Reveals Almost No Anti-Net Neutrality Comments
The FCC required Name, address and phone number in order to leave a comment. This was not an optional requirement. I can understand if a corporation wants to file a comment, but why does the FCC need personal identification from an individual?
We don't pay for bandwidth, we pay for access (connectivity). Brian - the robber baron - is claiming that we should pay extra for faster access. Theoretically, we are paying extra money to be able to download at 50mbps, however, most of us rarely get better than 30mbps. So much for net neutrality!
Brian - the robber baron - wants Netflix to pay for actual bandwidth used. Most enterprise (Netflix, GM, Walmart, Maryland Department of Transportation, etc.) users pay for access, and bandwidth usage.
Brian - the robber baron - is actually not delivering on promises to the home user. He's stealing from us!
Everyone pays for internet access. Yes... you can use a computer at a Public Library, or connect via wi-fi at a coffee shop without paying. However, the Library and the coffee shop are paying for the internet access.
If meta data from telephone call records is considered 3rd party information, then Google (and all others) search records are most likely considered in the same category. What's stopping the NSA from requesting this type of data?
Stating that Section 215 has a lot of watch dogs is ridiculous. The NSA comes under the Executive Branch of Government, as does the Justice Department, Treasury (IRS), and all of the other departments. The only real protection we have is the courts and our elected representatives. But, we allow the executive branch agencies to control the information provided to our representatives and justices.
We have learned a lot about our enemy operates since 9-11. Surely we can develop protections against those type of attacks without a wholesale usurpation of our basic rights as American Citizens!
White List/Black List... Great idea. Has anyone thought about how this strategy will be implemented? I suppose that the Carriers will provide this service at a fee?
Mr. Reid must be on drugs. Did he say "we need to pass this bill in order to know what's in it?" That's what Nancy Pelosi said when asked to explain the "Affordable Health Care Act".
Is this really about Jobs? "This will break the Internet,... We must move forward... because of jobs"!!!! That's proof enough that he is on drugs.
Police may not ask for your cell phone when they stop you for speeding, but they still have the option and you never know when it will become standard operating procedure. Also, if you are arrested, there is a presumption that you have 5th amendment rights. However, when you are driving certain rights are considered to be waived.
The danger is that law enforcement will make the assumption that rights are waived and they can use the information found in your cell phone to launch additional investigations.
The American public never knew the truth about what was happening in Nam. There was a concerted effort to hide the truth. Walter Cronkite was the last of a breed of reporters. He was more concerned with accuracy than rumor, However, he was wrong. The war was winable, but the politicians were more concerned with getting elected to additional terms.
The greatest generation sent their sons to fight a war without reason or support. At least sons and grandsons of Vietnam Vets are not being called "baby killers", or being spat upon.
The constitution says that we may speak freely with out fear of reprisal from our government. However, it does not say that we have the right to do so anonymously.
Wi-Fi systems are not cheap. It cost money to engineer, it cost money to construct, and it cost money to connect them to the internet.
The companies marketing the public-private partnerships to municipalities use a business model that assumes there is money to be made from "add-on" services. These companies make a lot of promises to get an exclusive franchise.
You can bet good money that many of these systems will fall apart from lack of maintenance if they don't make money.
No system is designed to provide effective indoor coverage. That would cost too much. It's up to the end users to bring the signal into the building.
Also many users will be disapointed by the lack of bandwidth availability. The old saying that if something is too good to be true, it probably is!!! is very applicable to these municipal systems.
