Basically if you are going to state that you know better than everyone else and evidence posted by nationally known, non-anon, subject matter experts you ought to put your credentials on the table so we can compare and contrast where you state your expertise is coming from as compared to some public figure. Redux is more like the guy who said he use to work for a guy who made bagles so he knows all about how the business industry of making bagles works. It is his anon opinion against nationally known figures, he is right and they are all wrong. I don't buy it.

I will debate with anyone purely on opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

Net Neutrality isn't about government control of the internet and anyone who claims this, is a liar and an idiot. They are repeating the lies told to them by the telecommunication companies. Net Neutrality is about freedom and equality for all people.

Net Neutrality means preventing companies from censoring your internet experience, or making the internet traffic of wealthy corporations more important than the internet traffic of regular every day people. It means preventing companies from blocking websites they might not want you to see, like perhaps their competitors, or political sites they happen to disagree with. It means keeping the internet free and equal for everyone. The Republicans always seem to come out against equality for people, and now they are against equality for internet data. What else do you expect from people who came out in support of gang rape?

Entertaining Truth:

Jon Stewart does a very good job at explaining net neutrality. The Republicans, like most issues, side with interests of wealthy campaign contributors rather than the American people.

Another one of those baseless arguments from opponents.

In fact, it was the Democrat-led Congress that extended a moratorium on taxing Internet services/connections through at least 2014.

In all fairness, I think it was bi-partisan, although I'm pretty sure Republicans raised the "states rights" issue....that states should ultimately have the right to tax internet services in a manner similar to telephone (state sales/use taxes) and/or cable (local franchise fees and/or taxes).

But net neutrality has nothing to do with taxes....red herring.

While the big telecoms and ISPs might own the cables, servers, routers, ect. they don't own the airwaves and public land where those cables are located, and with the use of the public "right of way" comes the right of the public to stipulate conditions for access to that land and airwaves.

The government would not be mandating what these companies CAN or MUST do (or what type of content or services they can or must host)....another red herring.

They would be telling them what they CANNOT do..and that is restrict or limit access through the pipelines and air waves, built and operating on PUBLIC rights of way, based on (legal) content and/or type of services/applications.
