hey look, wil wheaton.

Well the thing is this ,

1) net is not nutral in the first place , web page speed is denoted by how good your hosting is , get a cheep host have a cheep website (so large corps generaly get far faster pages)

2) people are realying on sites like you tube to spred content , thats got nothing to do with net nutrality thats to do with one large company hapaning to take a loss in one airea which alows people to post videos for free and not pay for hosting

3) Your conectoin speed and bandwidth is denoted by your ISP have a shit ISP then your internet is slow again this is finacaily and geographically dependent .

4) larger companies can aford to saturate the itnernet with adverts diverting trafic to there websites and away from indipndent websites and services.


I reolise the piont is that the ISP's and hosts should treat all traffic the same so that you dont end up with totaly clossed off parts of the internert , but thing is ISP's have been controling and throtaling typs of traffic for years now.

allso should the internet get fucked by large coperatoins then there is nothing stoping people from making a new internet protocall and hosting it themselfs , like a NEW BBS or a typ of.

Id actualy love to see a new PEAR to PEAR internet start , im not sure exactly how you would do it or how pheseable it is , but if there was enoughf wifi saturatoin maby you could creat some insane pear to pear web that works kinda like News groups and Bit torrent.


btw i am for a nutral internet , im just not quite sure what that means obvously its easy to get the idea of it but on the grand scheem of things im not sure if its evan possable to have a nutral internet. and that evan if the net was not nutral u can still have services like you tube , wikipdea that provide a voice to people.

Who the hell wants the FCC regulating the internet? Did we forget what they've done with TV? Censorship of obscenity and profanity. Howard fucking Stern! Educational programming requirements for shows for children. And they've been trying to regulate cable for years, which means shows like Louie on FX would probably be censored.

Google issued a reply to this 'news' stating it untrue.

In other news, some people are fucking moronic, and don't understand anything (one of the commenters in your link is either stupid or a corporate shrill)

I will die if we lose!

What celebrities? There was no evolution of dance guy, no star wars kid, no lonely girl, no one I've ever heard of, save for Adam Savage.

Oh, and Whill Wheaton. I had literally forgotten about him, like the rest of society. ZING!
