I'll admit, it's a complex issue, I've been reading up a bit today and it hurts my brain a little;)
There are arguments on the other side, which I think have some validity, that if you want to grow the internet, you need to find a way to manage the increasing bandwidth.
At the same time, I trust the ISPs about as far as I can throw them. Allowing them the power to arbitrarily speed up or slow down certain sites sounds like a recipe for abuse.
- hell yea info control is like killing the first amendment. but i agree its a tough issue.deathboy
- the 1st amendment is US only. the net is world wide. even .com sites are hosted outside mainland US so point is moot.airey
- obviously this doesn't apply to the whole world, just to U.S. service providersukit
- which becomes kind of useless in itself no?airey
- well, there's no world dictatorship, so what are you gonna do? anyway these companies serve markets in the U.S.ukit
