Is "Net Neutrality" over as we know it ? Thoughts ? (work, Word)

[Popfizz]

There have many reports with this issue lately.

the "public comment" part of this law passage process is coming soon. Can the public have any change on the outcome ?

I think theres is tons of money being made of this law and it just not right. This can get messy

Thoughts ??

The solution is to treat the ISP's like a utility with the exception of any kind of price controls. Allow for multi-tiered plans, allow them to sell bandwidth and bandwidth only. Other than for legitimate technical reasons they should not be allowed to discriminate between the services or websites that bandwidth is being used for. The consumer will ultimately pay more which is the price for neutral service.

That's a plan that would make neither side happy so I'm probably onto something here.

Having a jaded way of seeing how things work, I see a possibility of large fast data streams being subject to a special "tax" that will (wink wink, nudge nudge) be used to support creative artists whose work has been pirated. Think of the universal access fee on phone lines that gets used to buy boats and fast cars.
