-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 IANAL or an economist or even an expert on net neutrality I think net neutrality is great--as the market demands it. I'm not impressed by legislative attempts to protect it. Any attempts by government to regulate technology are fraught with misunderstanding (CAN-SPAM anyone) and prone to become a mess that is irreversible. (Aren't we still paying for the WWII tax on the phone lines or something like that?) The Internet infrastructure being billed by most ISPs to date has no fee based Quality of Service but that's the way the market allowed it. There was nothing technical stopping ISP's for charging based on the type of traffic in the past. They just didn't. Likely because they know that CUSTOMERS will switch en masse to a competitor as soon as they do. I wholely disapprove of any attempt by telecomm and cable providers to push legislation which goes against so called 'net neutrality'. I also wholely disapprove of attempts by anyone else to push legislation to protect so called 'net neutrality'. We have a free market which so far has kept net neutrality on its own. As long as legislation does not tip the scales--in either direction--it will continue to do its job. - -- JT Morée PC Xperience, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFhyxD1JwGi/ukQqERAmbOAKCmNNS7vHRzwq4mhYr/yGrf2Nm92QCgp7aL jlLcsWPPhKwsLQpJtIU3oBc= =sEaK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
