Well corporations don’t exactly have the interest of the consumer in mind. Verizon and comcast should in no way be able to shape the traffic that leaves or comes into my computer. They are providers, nothing more. It is not just about p2p either, they want to be able to slow connections that go to websites on rival networks. They will have the final say as to whether they want you to look at a certain site or not. This is a case where government most definitely should step in and keep predatory corporations from screwing the consumer.

So much for an independent judiciary devoid of politics. Since we’re arguing this, we might as well drag up Bush v. Gore again…

It really would be something if a real leader would stand against the corrupt flotsam of lobbyists and corporate party politicians. To me, it seems a glaring conflict of interest that Comcast is becoming a content owner as well, let alone a reality of themselves, Verizon, Amazon…etc or any other major provider having direct or indirect control of access to the world net, which is equivalent to information fascism.

It is a matter of civic personal responsibility as well. Americans need to see being a proper and earnest American civilian as a sort of job, a dedication to democracy. To truth. To freedom of information in this case.

Americans must see that the policing force of the internet is the gate to get there. Especially a monolithic, multi-national organization with a clear interest in forging consent, both in government and in society at large, for their own financial advantage.

Rarely a law goes into effect without first being OK’d by a corporate sponsor like Comcast, and certainly anything that would have to do with the internet.

The real law enforcers on the internet are the carries, as we saw when the US government went to the PROVIDERS to shut down Wikileaks, and Amazon exercised their power. Who is it that should have the power to cut off a voice on the internet, or ability to connect it?

Providers or the Current (Corporate Controlled) US Federal Government?

Neither.

I am afraid I still don’t understand!

I thought that this had something to do with fishing! What net is this again….All I know is when the government touches something, it is the same as a glance at Medusa, live turns to stone!
