Netzneutralität - was ist okay und was ist es nicht?...

(Teil 3, siehe auch Teil1 und Teil 2, Petition hier) Mein DSL hat 16 MBit im Downstream. Das heißt, ich bekomme 16 000 000 Bit/s geliefert, also etwas unter 2 Megabyte pro Sekunde. Ein Tag hat 86400 Sekunden und würde ich meinen Download rund um die Uh...

You know everyone is painting an evil picture on Google when most of us don't understand whats really going on. All Google is saying is that the internet is young and that the government should not place any restrictions on it as of yet.

Google truly does no evil. Or do they? There is this one article I read at called "How doing Business With Google Almost Killed A Company". That is probably the most evil thing Google has ever done.

Jim Harper supports net neutrality. He just doesn't support net neutrality regulation. The question to me is whether politicians and regulators (who are subject to plenty o' corporate influence in Washington) can make better decisions than engineers at ISPs under market pressure to serve consumers.

Thanks for the kind word, John.

Nice to see the far right wing posing as “the technology liberation front.” Ha!

Something to consider is the 886% year-to-year increase in Google's Android penetration of the world mobile market.

What will stop Google from using this "mark up legislative proposal" to take the next step and legislate Android the incumbent mobile industry operating system/GUI?

I don't know why people are all upset about this "managed services" clause. AOL had this for years in the early days of the internet and you know what? It died.

Have a little faith in the internet, people! Its not a fragile glass container that Comcast and Verizon can smash at will. We've seen this before and it was no big deal.
People use the Internet because they prefer it to private networks. No regulations required.

I think we should have net neutrality on wired networks because there is not enough competition but the "managed services" complaint sounds like its from someone who has instantly forgotten all Internet history.

The Google/Verizon version of "managed services" goes much further than private IP-based services, and expressly allows such services to be nothing more than prioritized Internet traffic, provided that the service is somehow "distinguishable."

All adjudication is "case-by-case," but if the only authority is case-by-case, no one can rely on the the precedent of one adjudication being applied predictably.

I support net neutrality, and Jim Harper doesn't, but I liked his take on this as attempted "regulatory capture."
