NMA: Net Neutrality decision leaves both sides unhappy.

submitted by ant

1 decade 3 years 9 months 1 week ago

"The FCC has passed long-awaited rules on Net Neutrality and no one is happy.

The rules passed after the FCC's chairman convinced his two Democratic colleagues to support his proposal.

Democratic Net Neutrality advocates, however, remain unhappy because wireless carriers such as AT&T will be able to block services and applications on their networks.

Net Neutrality advocates also want the FCC to prohibit 'paid prioritization', whereby carriers speed up the delivery of data bits for paying customers.

The opponents of Net Neutrality say the new rules interfere too much. They would prefer to let Internet carriers do whatever they want."

Net Neutrality advocates are pissed, because the new rules allow companies to be able to buy prioritization of their traffic over that of regular users. The internet won't be neutral anymore.

Network giants are pissed, because they don't get to just prioritize or slow down whatever they want, whenever they want on wired networks. They did get the ability to prioritize whatever they want, whenever they want, on all wireless networks.

Saying "both sides are unhappy" implies that there was some sort of 50/50 compromise reached, when that's not even remotely the case. The big companies got a near total victory, the net neutrality advocates got routed, and the big companies are only "unhappy" because they didn't get total freedom to manipulate traffic however they wanted everywhere.

That's fucking retarded. If it's ok to allow telecom companies to direct internet traffic on wireless networks, then why isn't it ok for them to control wired networks? What's the difference?

Neither is ok, we're just supposed to fucking take this and say thank you.

Fucking goddamn bullshit this is fucking unbelievable. How the fucking shit is this in the peoples best fucking interest? Who the fuck is running things over there? China?
