Subject: Re: Free Webhost
Would anyone like to start a state initiative that limits our ISPs to
managing only the bandwidth of their service as provided to users
(enforcing Network Neutrality), require that all customers must be
provided only static IP addresses, and full port ranges* - with rare
technical & temporary exceptions granted by the corporation
commission, the option to the customer of IPv6 or IPv4 at no cost
diffrerential as of 2010, and finally that any customer that is
experiencing a "to the property line/to the wall" monopoly on wire or
optical line based service may elect to be covered under a corporation
commision managed, rate & service monoply controle.

oh, and any physical network infrastructure may not be replaced unless
it has the identical regulatory regime and third party accesses as the
prior infrastructure, with the most liberal (open access) being
propogated forward into any improved infrastructure - with all prior
infrastructure (wire to fiber - this is you) grandfatherd
retroactively. Public services must be under a ratchet when it comes
to increasing access to the channels, there is no ethical reason to
improve our infrastructure and lock in our citizens into a monopoly.
this is simply incremental servitude and a public bad. a kickback at
best, a fraud on the state at worst.

*if you need to have ports blocked, pay a bit extra, it's a service -
not the base condition. one of many that could be offered

just sayin' this should not be a problem for Arizonans - and probably
the only thing that might save Arizona from becoming the west's most
backward state.

or you can just be meat on the hoof for out of state interests. its
plantation technology and bad.
