A couple of questions come to mind for those who haven't been paying attention to this effort to regulate the internet.
What exactly is "Net Neutrality" and how will it affect our use of the internet on a personal and business level?
This was an interesting read to say the least.

Here's a simplistic video regarding "Net Neutrality".

FCC Adopts New Historic Internet Rules
But this is the most important thing since SE releasing the Abyessa expansions !
Hey google if you can read this, shut down again along with Wikipedia.
Google can't read it only can make money off of Ad sense !
yay!
I don't know anything about this but I'm assuming free internet for everyone !
Well free government internet...with speeds as high as 800/kbps ! People have dreamed up an imaginary problem with the internet. They don't know what it is. All they know is they want the Federal government to fix it.

Yesterday I had DSL now with this ruling I have 500/mbps fiber optic !

I can literally pay for the most expensive broadband option in my city, which is something ridiculous like $150/month, and still download data faster on my cell phone. That's because there's no meaningful competition in the telecom industry and the major players have cooperated to keep it that way. Comcast throttling Netflix was just the first step. Have no doubt it would have gone further.

What is this obsession with Netflix ? I don't get it.
From my experience with it is offers a subpar movie selection compared to on demand.

I didn't realize these were dreams:   Quick, we must go stop the summoner who is drawing power from the fayth that keeps these dreams "real!" fonewear said: » Yep those are the only 2 ISP in the entire country... Well after the comcast-tw merger: comcast will hold the most, Verizon has a hold on VA. So essentially, most markets there isn't a broadband competitor, you only have one choice. That's a huge part of the problem. fonewear said: » What is this obsession with Netflix ? I don't get it. From my experience with it is offers a subpar movie selection compared to on demand. I like having access to the entire The Walking Dead series (except the latest season, of course). I wouldn't pay 8 bucks a month to watch movies/TV shows *picks up a newspaper* !
Kids these days I don't get them and I don't wanna. Anyways: I do hope for more competition but you do realize they are going to sue the FCC and this will be battled in court for years. I really don't think most people even know what the Internet actually is and the infrastructure involved.

Come DD for my Legion run tonight and relieve some of that stress.

Remember, we have been using telephone lines and still do for internet, and most places outside of the US have either newer lines or fiber optics or not as much area to cover (and can upgrade/replace their lines cheaper because of that) than US.

Fiber optics make it happen Obama !
One of the benefits of treating the internet as a utility, ISPs can now access utility poles/infrastructure to run fiber, instead of having to run their own. (Formerly limited to existing utility companies; like Comcast, Verizon).
Google spread like wildfire, and be our overlords! Yea I don't see Google coming to my area. I have Comcast or using a string with a cup on it for ISP choice !

I know there's fiber laced thorought the city I live near, I know the electric company has access to it, not sure who else. Technically fiber has the capacity for unlimited bandwidth (theoretically) but right now has some limiting factors.

There is fiber optic internet about 30 miles from me hopefully it will expand out.
I need to watch terrible movies on Netflix ! First up the Hottie or the Nottie. YouTube Video Placeholder Has anyone tried to play FFXI using a satellite provider?
