Everyone should watch this video......smfh at Comcast and all the cellphone companies

Man i was about to... But its 40mins long

Cliff notes?

Shit's gonna hit the fan because the FCC head is going out of his way to create propaganda via a web of lies and misinformation.

 
The two women are the Democratic Comissioners and the men are the Republicans. A 3-2 vote, this shit will pass. What happens after is up to Congress and how loud we the people get.

they look like theyre waiting for the purge..
 
How does net neutrality affect companies? Netflix, Twitter, FB - all have heavy traffic from the US. Once this packaging shit happens, doesn't it kill their traffic and therefore kill revenue? Seems like it would kill the internet.

Yes it will.

Net Neutrality prevents companies from showing favoritism to partners and thus keeps costs down and keeps traffic open.

If the law is repealed then some asshole companies can slow your Netflix or YouTube load time because they don't have deals with them.

Essentially, it allows big Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to bully other sites and consumers into paying more money for faster load times.

Then why are the companies not against this?

I don't know about others, but I think Netflix already has something worked out with the ISPs. They also recently raised their prices (suspicious)

The thing about throttling is it doesn't always kill your download/access to a site.

For example, Comcast might be selling its customers a 100 Mb per sec connection, but cap it at 10 Mbps when streaming from netflix. It's far from the 100 Mbps they are advertising but still fast enough to watch a Netflix movie.

Problem starts when they start throttling small stream/video upload sites like Openload to dial up speeds because they don't have the power to work out any deals with these huge ISP's
 
This will be a long battle. Nothing is passing regardless of the vote. Many Court appearances will happen and this may go into the next presidential administration. Keep putting pressure on the officials to oppose this bullshit.

i emailed all of them (even the anti-christ in the middle) explaining the importance of net neutrality and why it should stay. mignon clyburn (the sista) responded saying “I will do everything in my power to ensure the internet remains a platform for innovation and free expression.”

we’ll see

Fucked up thing is once it gets in their heads to repeal this shit theyll never give up. It might get pushed back or delayed but theyre gonna keep coming back every so often to try n repeal it until they finally get what they want.

So even if the repeal fails 6 months from now we probably have to deal with this again. Unless it depends on change of administration??

I don't know why there isn't a law in place protecting me neutrality already. A law needs to be cemented to stop any more repeals. I just learned this scum tried this 10 years ago.
